'Windows is Turned off by Group Policy. Windows Defender won't provide protection against harmful or potentially unwanted software and it won't send you alerts because it is off. To protect your computer against harmful or potentially unwanted software, contact your system administrator to enable Windows Defender via group policy'

Now I'm the administrator, I don't remember disabling or switching off WD and wish to know how to enable it.. Can anyone help?

Welcome Rick, can you access it directly? Here is the path.
C:Program FilesWindows DefenderMSASCui.exe

The Group Policy is it referring to is probably the value DisableAntiSpyware under HKLMSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindows Defender in the registry.
Just delete that value and Windows Defender should work again.

Lighthouse -
Right-click and 'run as administrator' on C:Program FilesWindows DefenderMSASCui.exe returned same message as in my first post.

Having trouble finding 'HKLMSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftWindows Defender' nearest I can find is:-
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarePoliciesMicrosoft but there is no 'Windows Defender' part to it. I got this from regedit is that the place to look?

Thanks jd2066 - value deleted as you suggested and I have WD back. Thanks Lighthouse for your input too.

Just wanted to post THANKS! This exact issue has been annoying & irritating me on my own computer for weeks on end and I haven't been able to find a solution until I came across this. Now, resolved. THANKS.

Hi Ankit,

Thank you for using Windows 10.

We understand your concern.

Kindly let us know:

• Which all apps got installed automatically?
• Have you recently installed any third party antivirus?

I would suggest you to disable the antivirus software in your computer if you have any and check.

Disclaimer: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

I would also suggest you to run the Microsoft Safety Scanner which is a free Scanner downloadable security tool that provides on-demand scanning and helps remove viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. It works with your existing antivirus software. Refer to the link below:
