Windows Defender wont open after Creator update.
How are you trying to open it?
If from the icon in the tray, right click > open
or
All Settings > Update & Security > Windows Defender > Open Windows Defender Security Centre
Which 'Defender' are you trying to open? Double-clicking on the Defender icon in the notification try does nothing. This seems to be a design oversight, but right-click brings up 'Open' which opens the Windows Defender Security Center.
