Have you tried booting into the advanced boot options to use the restore points to see if that gets you back to how things should be with Windows Defender?

I believe I have exhausted all the boot options without success.

Before running 4.4.0 I could get into System Restore but none of the Restore Points were showing. Do they exist somewhere and I just can't access them? I doubt it. I did a quick check for the files on my Windows installation and they seem to have vanished. My focus had been on fixing Update.

At the moment, I can't get into System Restore via menus. I haven't tried accessing it via a Command Prompt because I don't think the Restore files exist anymore.

My current situation is:

Update won't start. This was true prior to running 4.4.0 the first time. Whenever I clicked Start, the start process would run for a second or two and a message that it wouldn't start appeared without a hint as to why. Services remained as previously set (auto or manual) whenever I reopened Services. Since running 4.4.0 I now get an error code: system error 1114 - a DLL initialization routine has failed. Whenever I open Services it has reset itself to "Disabled." 4.4.0/4.4.1 has changed something, whether for the better or not I can't say.

Restore System won't open. Prior to running 4.4.0/4.4.1 it would open, but no Restore Points were available. So, like Update, Restore did not work prior to running 4.4.0/4.4.1, but now I can't even open it, so something has changed with that also.

Windows Defender won't Start. Prior to running 4.4.0/4.4.1, it was working normally. At the moment I'm using SuperAntiSpyware to protect the system.

@ taneal1 - For clarification are you now saying you had problems with Windows Update before you ran the repair program ?

Yes. That was my original reason for running Windows Repair.

Windows Update and Windows Defender are isolated in Safe Mode so it looks like the program may have not released you from that mode.

By "isolated" are you saying neither will run in Safe Mode or is there more to it than just this?

double click on remove_stuck_safemode.reg

Done. Win Defender and Update fail with the same error messages as before this action.

I don't think it matters at this point but should the Services for WD & Update be left in auto, manual, or something else? Whenever I reopen Services; Update is "disabled."

What is the best way to determine whether Windows is "stuck" in Safe Mode?

What other problems do you have ?

I uninstalled 4.4.1, reinstalled and ran 4.4.0. I have now returned to the following issues:

1. Windows Update Service will NOT start due to a DLL Routine failure (error 1114). Prior to running 4.4.0 for the first time, Win Update Service would begin to start and then fail without any error code or information.

2. Win Defender will NOT start.

Windows Build is 10.0.17134 which I believe is Version 1803

Restore cannot be accessed due to Admin blocking. I am the Admin with FULL privileges.

I reran 4.4.1 and now I have MORE issues than before.

I am wondering if this updated version of Windows Repair 4.4.1 guarantee the fix of Windows Defender not like the previous version. I did not see any new information from Shane but he uploaded the latest version without any information.

My Windows 10 Update Service will not start. I ran 4.4.0 and it did not fix the issue. 4.4.1 appeared and I tried that. It shutdown my BITS (it did restart), Update still does not work, and now Windows Defender won't start. Also, when I try to open Services I get "an Admin has blocked this" despite the fact that I am the Admin with full permissions.
