How to Enable Microsoft Defender Antivirus?

Enable Windows Defender
If you have downloaded pirated antivirus software or any malicious software, it can disable Windows Defender to gain control over your computer. Many types of malware are designed to turn off or circumvent antivirus protections like Windows Defender, allowing them to operate undetected and make changes to your system without your knowledge. This can make your computer more vulnerable to further attacks and prevent legitimate security software from providing protection.

Here's a step-by-step example:

  1. Open Notepad and enter the following registry code:

  2. Save the File:

    • Click File > Save As.
    • In the "Save as type" dropdown, select All Files.
    • Enter example.reg in the "File name" field.
    • Click Save.
You now have a .reg file that can be used to modify the Windows Registry when you double-click it.
