Does anyone know how to turn on Windows Defender

I can find anywhere on the site of MS how re - download Defender.  I can see on my control panel, and when I try to open it, it just says: it has been turned off.  HOW IN THE WORLD you turn back?  Please?

You can run an anti-virus program from full time at some point.    Windows Defender is disabled if you install another anti-virus program.

If you have installed another anti-virus and uninstalled... cool... but most uninstall very well & require you to visit their support pages and download and run the uninstaller or clean tool.

Windows defender is a part of win8.   You don't need to download it.  It runs automatically unless you disable explicitly its advanced options.   Condition that you don't have another anti-virus running product.
