Windows Defender will not turn on even with Malwarebytes disabled
Loaded a new HP Laptop with Malwarebytes premium three days ago. Today I checked Windows Defender (WD) and a message comes up saying WD has been turned off. With an instruction that if using additional AV software to go to "Updates and Security" and check that apps status. Going there I don't see how to check the status and WD status show enabled but grayed out and non-responsive,
I disabled Malware bytes and rebooted and checked WD and got the same message. I checked the forum and saw a message saying that possibly WD goes into limbo and MS is aware of issue and possibly with new 10 version out Aug 2nd problem would be solved (today is Sept 18, I received computer 3 days ago and windows is on automatic update so am assuming computer has anniversary system). On my previous laptop WD and MB played will together from day one with no compatibility issues. Any suggestions?
