Can't turn on windows defender after turning it off
I toggle it on, it asks me for administrator permission. I click yes, and right back to this window. Still switched off. All tutorials lead to this page and simply say to turn it on but I can’t get it to turn on?

If you've any third-party AV installed previously, make sure you completely uninstall it. Then retry turning on Windows Security.
