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...
Update:
OK, so after exhausting every possible solution i could think of, including some command prompt error checks and such, I was not able to resolve this issue with Windows Security or Windows Update. AVG Antiviris did a deep scan and found two more iffy files and removed them, restarted and still nothing was working.
I finally resorted to a full roll back to a fresh Windows 10 install via USB. Installed fine, all clean, logged in and installed all my apps and programs.
I got Windows 10 Updates and checked Windows Security and everything looked good.
The problem is that in about an hour, Windows Security capped out and was disabled again. Same errors as what happened in Win11 and what's shown in my screenshot above.
So now I'm completely at a loss. Same error in both Windows 11 and now Windows 10 after a fresh install.
This is on an Acer Predator Triton 300 Laptop by the way.
For now I installed AVG again. Did a scan and it's clean, so I don't know what's going on.
