Windows defender app
can you run this command in an elevated PowerShell and post the results here?
Get-MpComputerStatus
HotCakeX Doesn't this only give the status?
I think there will be some corrupted files... or a failing update....
Had something similar in the past... Think I needed to reset the store app as well in that case. (wsreset.exe)
what i would do in this case:
1. check if there are pending updates via updates in the Settings UI
2. check for pending updates in the store app
3. sfc /scannow if still not resolved
4. wsreset
5. check for updates again
If still nogo, then further analysis will be needed... Maybe some policies or settings are left on the machine due to earlier installations, file type asociation which are wrongfully configured, other security software preventing normal behaviour.
But this is my opinion, didn't have any handons on the system
if the AV is running then OP can wait for the next build to possibly fix the app's GUI problem. if not running, perform a cloud reset (because it's not safe to stay without AV)
- indeed... you're correct
- O sorry this is my normal working Laptop. To morrow i show te desktop list.
- Thanks, everything seems to be ok and WD components are running, hopefully next dev build will fix the UI problem
- Thanks everyone for his or her contribution, te latist buil solvd the problem as someone predictid.
Thanks a lot
