Windows Defender opening up problem
I have Windows Defender which was working it scans for viruses, etc and it has started to fail to open up. When I click on the flag at the bottom of the screen it says 1 message says Windows defender needs to scan your computer with a message saying Windows defender This program is turned off if you are using another program that checks for harmful or unwanted software use the Action Centre to check that program's status. If you would like to use this program, click here to turn it on (example picture) and when I click on to that I get another message saying this program is blocked by group policy. For more information, contract your system administration. (Error code 0x800704ec) (example picture) Can anyone identify what has gone wrong and how do I get windows defender up and running again properly? Is it because of my other protection avast?
