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

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.

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).

Shane,

Using Windows Home (v1803 64-bit), post running Windows Repair (v4.3.0) All Repairs,
Windows Defender has been disabled.  I am unable to re-enable it.  I am hoping to avoid a clean install.

I have attempted to resolve the issue with the approaches listed in:
