Not getting not updates

I recently renewed my antivirus protection, but since I have, whenever I turn on my computer, I get an error message that Windows Defender could not initialize and I can not now get any update to any windows program to load.  How I either disable this error permanently, or get two programs running simultaneously?  It's just a nuisance to have to see this error message everytime I turn on my computer.  It is not necessary.  Can help you?

Thank you
