    Windows Defender


    Hello,

    I can't turn on Windows Defender. I get an error message: Windows Defender Firewall can't change some of your settings. Error code 0x80070422.

    I also get the following error message when I turn on my laptop: Windows cannot find C:\Program.

    I have the Windows 10 Home Edition, version 21H1.

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Please edit your profile with ALL your hardware specs. It will help us to help you

    Normally on a 64 bits you have:
    C:\Program Files (x86)
    and
    C:\Program Files

    Witch one is missing?

    Thank you for your reply Megahertz.

    I am not computer savvy, the reason why I did not fill in the hardware specs. Forgive my ignorance.

    The full error message I get when I turn on my laptop is the following: C:\ProgramFiles\WindowsApps\Microsoft.549981C3F5F10_3.2109.6305.0_x64_...\Win32Bridge.Server.exe'.Ma ke sure you typed the name correctly,and then tryagain.

    I copied it letter by letter as I could not take a screen shot and save it on the forum.

    Open Explorer and browse to C:\ProgramFiles\WindowsApps\
    Is all there?

    My mistake. Both are present i.e. C:\Program Files (x86) and C:\Program Files but the search for C:\ProgramFiles\WindowsApps\ leads nowhere.

    I've got to go. I'll connect again tomorrow in the hope of finding a solution. Pleasant evening to all.
