Hi! If this is your own home PC, first uninstall any non-Microsoft antivirus/security suite completely and restart. Then open services.msc and check that Microsoft Defender Antivirus Service (WinDefend) and Security Center (wscsvc) are not disabled; Microsoft’s Defender troubleshooting guidance lists those services as key checks. After that, open Command Prompt as Administrator and run: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth then sfc /scannow Microsoft recommends running DISM before SFC to repair corrupted Windows components and system files. If the device is actually tied to a work/school organization, you’ll need to contact that administrator because policy can prevent changes in Windows Security.
How to fix in the virus and threat protection settings it says no active antivirus provider. Your device is vulnerable cause i want to enable anticheat again..
