When you try to access the windows Defender message this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer

Help

Hi baulchy,

1 when was the last time it was working fine?

2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

3. you have any security software installed on the computer?

Method 1

 

Check and make sure that the Windows defender service is running on the computer.

(a) click Start type services.msc in the Search box, and then click OK.

(b) in the Services (Local) list, right-click Windows Defender, and then click Properties.

(c) if the drop-down list Startup type is set to the value off, select Automatic from the drop-down list Startup type and then click OK.

(d) click the file menu and then click exit.

Method 2

If the previous step fails then I would suggest that you scan and remove infections of malware or viruses on the use of the scanner online in the link below and check if it helps.

The scan below only works on the 32-bit version of Windows

You can use the Microsoft security essentials to scan your computer

I hope this helps!
