Hello.
Try this method.

Start > Run, type in services.msc. Scroll to near the bottom of the list and look for Windows Defender.

Double click to bring up the information about that service, change the service start type to automatic and and press the Start button if it says not running or unstarted.

Strange I cant change it to manual to automatic also when I press "start" an error pops up? Here's a screenshot.

Curious, are you able to download Windows updates?

Hmm, odd.

Either way, I wouldn't rely on WD that much, I'd recommend MBAM.

Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from Here
