Hi k.nana2007,


If you are using McAfee software, please read this article HERE

Otherwise:

Open the 'services' window (Start >> Run >> services.msc).
Navigate to Windows defender and double click it then start the service.
Make sure that the 'start up type is set to 'automatic.


:thumbsup:

Edit: Fix link.

If you do not use McAfee, refer to Error message when you run Windows Defender: "Error Code 0x800106ba".
