I'm having trouble getting Windows Defender to activate on my PC. While I know it's not the best antivirus out there, I still want its protection. Every time I start my computer, I get this annoying popup saying that Windows Defender isn't activated. When I try to turn it on, it just hangs for a minute before canceling due to an error. I've followed multiple tutorials on YouTube, but nothing has worked for me. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

It sounds like some malware might be interfering with Windows Defender. I recommend downloading MalwareBytes to scan your system and see if it picks up anything suspicious. It's pretty effective.
I tried that already, but didn't notice any real change. Thanks for the suggestion though!
