Solved Windows Defender Problem Win8.1

[Harrier]

When I try to open Defender, I get the following message...

"This app has been turned off and isn't monitoring your computer"

I can't turn it back on... all I get is the above message.

I haven't installed any other AV and can't see that I have had one installed by bloatware.

Hello Harrier,

If you haven't already, see if you may be able to use OPTION TWO in the tutorial below to turn back on Windows Defender.

The only install have done this week was for the new Malwarebytes.
I just uninstalled the new version of Mbam and Defender is back and working again.

I reinstalled Mbam and all is good now... no conflict

Thanks for your time Brink
