My Windows Defender is just a blank screen and services from "service.msc" also showing that .exe files are missing (error code: 2) from several services.

I have tried:

  • Scanning viruses with MalwareBytes
  • Restoring Security Center and wscsvc service
  • Security Health Setup
  • UpdHealthTools.msi Still not solved, I'd appreciate your helpUser's image
