How to get window Defender run again

When I try defender of windows I get the timeout has expired. what it means and how to fix it. I don't think that I was invited to be updated so I do not see how it happened.

If you have Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, McAfee, Norton, etc. installed, they have a conflict with Windows Defender, or turn it off.

Microsoft Security Essentials has its own integrated version of the defender and it automatically disables the version of Windows Vista defender.

If it's not:

Turn Windows Defender on or off the information on the link above of Microsoft.

Hope the above explains the common compatibility issues with Windows Defender and other security programs.

See you soon.
