Windows Virus & Threat Protection is not working
Recently I format my laptop and reinstall windows 10 pro.
Initially the windows defender was working well. but later when I opened the Windows Security I noticed that the 'Virus and Threat Protection' is not working. When I restart the service, it gives the following error.
Even my windows update and medic services also working fine.
Please somebody know the reason for this?
Solution 1:
Recently I format my laptop and reinstall windows 10 pro.
That should be the most recent version of Windows or very close to it.
Do the following:
-
Update Windows: Start, Settings, Update and Security. Run Updates and look for Optional Updates and do these. Restart after.
-
In the event something did not go precisely right during the first reinstall, run DISM and SFC.
(1) Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator.
(2) DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /StartComponentCleanup
(3) DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth
(4) SFC /SCANNOW
(5) Restart when all the above is complete and test.
After all the above, Windows Defender should be properly working.
