Hi,
_Check if windows defender is up to date if not update it.
_Check if the date and time are correct.
_Open up services.msc and check if windows defender service is set to "Automatic"
_If the problem still assist download this tool, it will try to find any error in windows defender then fix it:http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9787450
_If none of this worked, umm... you have to remove it then reinstall it, here is how:
-press win+x+r then type in: "appwiz.cpl" (without dots) then choose windws defender then uninstall it, after that download newest version of windows defender (am a bit lazy today so just google it) and install it.
Hope That helps.

Hi,
I think you should restore to a later restore poin.
P.S: Do it in safe mode

Look at the Action tab, what is it set to?

Also, I think you want the Windows Defender Scheduled Scan task, not Cache Maintenance.

Anyway, here is what mine are set to and they work:
