So I did some updates on my computer, and when it restarted this popped up. I have tried to repair the device, and it didn’t work, and I tried to turn it on. Nothing worked. I need help to turn my Anti-Virus back on.
How about having OP (if he will consider) turn off (disable) Windows Defender ?
I know Defender is supposed to be OK with Avast but think all people agree it is a poorly managed A/V and perhaps better solution here.
If so, go into Defender and in Option/Admin…uncheck the option to use this program…something like that…will disable.
You can check this by going back into Control Panel and launching Defender and Windows says it is off.
Hopefully, the security center will be as well.
Anyway, just a different suggestion to the problem…perhaps.
