PowerShell Get-MpComputerStatus
Hi, Why when i Type Get-MpComputerStatus, i've got this error msg : Thanks for your help.
Is Windows Defender enabled on the computer?
Run the following: (Get-Service windefend).Status
The cmdlet will return the service status of:
Running
- OR -
Stopped
You can try starting the service: Start-Service windefend
However, if you have another anti-malware product installed e.g. McAfee, Norton, etc., these may/will disable Windows Defender and prevent the service from starting.
