* moved virus & malware

try running command line @ elevated command prompt:

 

reg delete "hklm\software\policies\microsoft\windows defender" /v disableantispyware 

 

as illustrated in thread:

 

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/forum/protect_defender-protect_scanning/windows-defender-this-app-is-turned-off-by-group/dfa59c2a-b358-4f62-80b6-6b8e4994dc32

 

if have third-party av app installed, there shouldn’t need uninstall it. once you’ve removed disableantispyware entry, should able turn on limited periodic scanning , perform full scan.
