Windows Security - Virus & Threat Protection Disabled & will not Reactivate
Greetings, I've been having issues with Windows Security starting up after every restart, which I had to manually activate. This hasn't been a huge deal for the most part, however in the...
Thanks, however the problem isn't manually starting Virus & Threat Protection every time I restart. The problem is that it now won't let me even do that and won't turn on at all (refer to above screenshot error).
If I could manually activate it, then I'm only vulnerable for a few seconds, no biggie. The problem is it's not activating at all, therefore this system is completely vulnerable all the time.

Yeah, I can manually start it. I don't get the message you have. I'm not sure why you're getting that message. You should be on build .100 and not .51 as .51 was the first DEV build. But if you're on .100 it could be something related to your computer or software causing interference (maybe another virus or anti-malware blocker). If you're just coming over from Windows 10 than you can revert back to Windows 10 through Go Back than try Windows 11 again. Windows Update, Advanced Options, Recovery, Go Back.
- Thanks, but it's been on 11 since it released. So it seems the main issue is it's out of date and not updating to the new build (my other system hasn't had an issue) I'll have to dig further into the update troubleshooter to see why it's not updating. Chances are that's why the Virus / Security is messed up now. As mentioned, the first trouble check detected an error with Windows Update, but though it said it fixed the issue, my system still says it's up to date (clearly not)
Thanks again. I think we're narrowing down the problem. I'll post an update once I dig into it a bit more.
