Windows Repair - Windows Defender disabled - Unable to re-enable

<< < (2/3) > >>

shansen:
As I understand it, I am unable to access Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) in Windows Home.
Attempting to restart "Virus & threat protection" results in the error "unexpected error..." (attached).

shansen:
I have capitulated.  I have restored the registry from the initial Windows Repair Registry Backup.
Windows Defender runs as expected. :)

I initially ran Windows Repair in the hope of resolving a repeating sporadic BSOD issue. 
With reverting to Backup, I am now unaware what, if any, repairs remain.

Boggin:
BSODs are usually caused by driver issues or conflicting programs so the repair program will not have helped with those.

I'll ask one of the members to take you through the procedure for BSOD diagnostics to see what was the cause of those.

Boggin:
I'd forgotten that Win 10 has its own BSOD troubleshooter which you can try to see what it reports.

Click on the Windows key/ Settings cog/Update & Security/Troubleshoot where you'll see the one for BSOD to click on.

shansen:
Comically, Settings will not open.  I am working through the fixes listed on https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-other_settings/windows-10-settings-not-working/a3e7d34c-1358-456e-a66b-7ad8906e0a30
