Notification - Check virus protection

Hi

I have recently being advised by Notification to check virus protection.

Dialog reads: Windows Defender Antivirus and multiple other antivirus apps are turned off.
Tap or click to see installed antivirus.

After clicking on a dialog box appears Titled Security and Maintenance and advises of installed virus protection off:
Malwarebytes off
Webroot SecureAnywhere off
Windows Defender antivirus off

Clicking on each to turn on results in nothing happening.

I have searched forum, Google and have tried gpedit.msc and searched Settings to try and find a solution.
I also get : *some settings are hidden or managed by your organization.

I don't fully understand because I am the Administrator of this computer or am I missing the obvious.

I would be highly appreciative if anyone can assist or advise to rectify this problem.

Hi axe0

The 3rd option. Always register Malwarebytes in the Windows Action Center.

4th Option: Completely remove Malwarebites from your computer.

yes. It updated to latest version this morning

In the process of completely uninstalling including regedit.
Then will have another install.

Please run winver and let us know the Win10 version you have.

Is one of the listed anti-virus programs a paid for version?
