Hello, I could not turn windows defender on. It gave message 0x80070424 "encountered an error: specified service is not installed". I looked in services.msc and defender was not listed. When I went to msconfig -- it was not listed either. However, defender directory exists in program files.
I read around to learn that, antivirus may have turned it off but wiping out from msconfig seems bit too far. Intuitively, defender should be listed but disabled/stopped.
I also learn that security essentials has its own defender in some form. Please advise if getting win-defender is necessary for SP2 and if so, how to restore.
Thanks.
Anna.
