  Windows Defender is disabled whenever I turn on my computer. setting has been activated automatically, but a message "windows defender is disabled" keep appearing one whenever I click on it. Help, please. Thank you!

  If you have Microsoft Security Essentials or AVG installed, you don't have to do a thing. These 2 are supposed to disable Windows Defender, because they have their own "defender". Running two defenders would conflict on the other and redundant.

  If you have not installed 2 above. Try this...
  Start bittun > in the search box, type services > press ENTER > uac prompt > scroll down and look for Windows Defender...
  under the State ; It must be said Started
  under Startup type : must say automatic
  If this isn't the case, right click on Windows Defender > properties >
