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 last couple of days, Virus & Threat Protection is completed disabled and will not activate. It notes "The treat service has stopped. Restart it now." - I hit restart and an error appears "Unexpected error. Sorry, we ran into a problem. Please try again."
As per above screenshot.
As this is my only protection I currently have on my system, I'm a little concerned this hasn't been fixed yet / no update provided. I also can't find a direct Troubleshooter for this, but will continue to dig into the settings and such to see what I can find.
Oddly, I also have Windows 11 Preview Build on another system and Windows Security is running fine on that, including already booting up on restart. It's just this one system.
Any advice or suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I have never rolled back to Windows 10 so I'm not sure if the errors of Windows 11 like what you're facing will come with it. I'm hoping Windows 11 DEV builds fix this Virus/Threat Protection issue soon. Only other thing I can think of is something damaged your files, maybe malware, and the malware is gone now but the damaged files are still there or gone but the damage is still present. Some would recommend clean installing Windows 10, but you can wait and see or wait into the stable version of Windows 11 arrives. You can also join the Preview Release Channel of Insider Program and you might be able to get the recent Windows 10 preview release that came out last week that maybe will fix the problem: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-10/windows-10-version-21h2-announced/m-p/2554392
