Hi Friend,
1. Go to C:\Program Files\Windows Defender
2. Run "MSASCui.exe"
3. You will see a window saying that Windows Defender is not running. (Sorry, I don't remember the exact wording)
4. Click on the part at the end of the message that looks like a link and says something like "start Windows Defender"
That should do it.
