Hi

Run the following command

    There is no output when I query that WMI namespace and class. I also tried Get-WmiObject -Namespace root\Microsoft\protectionmanagement -Class MSFT_MpComputerStatus which also had no output.

        Is Windows Defender registered and working fine, 

        is it Enabled or there is a policy which disables it ?!
