Windows (10) Defender Disabled

(1/2) > >>

Bucky Brown:
Windows Defender Threat & Virus Protection disabled when run Tweaking.com Windows Repair Pro V4 (see attachment).  Other parts of Windows Defender (firewall, etc.) seem to be working OK.   Please advise as to how I can (1) re-enable Windows Defender Threat & Virus Protection and (2) configure Tweaking.com (or perhaps Windows 10 or Defender) so it doesn't create this problem in the future.  Many thanks,

Boggin:
What is happening is that the repair program is no longer releasing from Safe Mode so some services are prevented from starting, which includes Windows Defender.

Shane produced v4.4.0 which was supposed to resolve this but for some reason it didn't and he is aware of it.

Restore points have been known to revert from this condition but in other cases, a Reset was needed.

There is a Reset option that preserves personal stuff but will delete any programs you may have installed, so if you need to go that route, then you will need the product keys for any paid for programs for when you reinstall them.

I can only apologise on behalf of Shane while he is working for a solution to this bug in his program.

Bucky Brown:
Boggin,
Thanks for the explanation.  Any idea as to how long it might take Shane to come up with the (hopeful) solution?
Regards,
Bucky

Boggin:
I don't know - I've asked him but he's going to have to find out why it started doing it in the first place.

At a guess it may have been a side effect of having to keep the program up to date to make it compatible with the changes that are made to Win 10 by MS.

He did think he had found the solution which he incorporated in 4.4.0 but that hasn't worked.

Any news on this yet? I'm having the same issue where I can't download new virus definition updates.  Do you know which settings should be avoided in Windows Repair Pro which were responsible for breaking this.
