You definitely want to keep that if you intend on using Windows Defender. MSMpEng.exe is part of the Windows Security and runs in the back ground scanning for malware based on scheduled tasks. You mentioned you deleted MSMpEng.exe - can you confirm whether you mean the literal file, or a Registry entry pointing to this executable? Malwarebytes is popular for some people and you can safely leave that installed if you like it, as it will work fine with Windows Defender.
Kaspersky when installed will disable Windows Defender, so if your intention is to get Windows Defender functioning again, you'll first need to uninstall Kaspersky and any other antivirus programs.

I was going to ask whether you had any third party Security Software installed, but note you have installed Kaspersky and from the sounds of it the odd cleaning utility.

I have a feeling that now that my computer is malware/virus clean there is just some dumb thing I am missing or that I don't know about windows 10 that can solve my issue.
#WINDOWS DEFENDER PAGE NOT AVAILABLE INSTALL#
Short of doing a re install of windows i have exhausted all of my capabilities.
Sorry for the long post but just trying to be as descriptive as I can for whoever is reading this, and whoever is reading this I thank you kindly for your time. Malwarebytes detects it as an unwanted program but I looked up the software before i used it at all (always do) and its fine. (PPS) Also downloaded a program called RE-image considering the sfc scan said corrupt but didn't realize it was free scan, pay to repair so i opted out. I saw a reg hack to supposedly enable it but I wasn't about to give it a shot it didnt seem smart to me (PS) Anything I found to do with group policy controls I could not change or access at all due to not even having gpedit on windows 10 home for whatever reason they did that. I highly doubt that's the cause of my issues.
#WINDOWS DEFENDER PAGE NOT AVAILABLE PATCH#
I downloaded Kaspersky Security, ran a full scan, the only thing it came up with was one riskware file, and its from an unofficial game patch i downloaded for one of my games from nexusmods site. Restarted the PC again but still not working.ħ. Cleaned out all of my temp files everywhere as well. (some weird s**t) I deleted the UA folders, turned UAC and system restore back on and disabled remote help. Re-tried steps 1-4, still not working, but while i was poking around the hard drive and settings this time I noticed my UAC was turned off as well as my system restore, Remote desktop had been enabled, and there was 2 random extra user accounts under C:/Users "Default01" and another with a similar name. Restarted the computer and ran all the scans a second time. There was definitely malware on there, from my skim thorugh of what they were it looked to me mostly like stuff preventing notifications about firewalls etc. Downloaded and ran malwarebytes/hitmanpro/zemana. Assuming now based on the above my problem was most likely malware. Also found one of these named entries "MsMpEng.exe" and I deleted it.ĥ. Changed the DisableAntiSpyware reg value from 1 to 0. Now I found afew articles about registry edits, and conflicting entries.
It was suggested to do a clean boot, even though i had not installed any new software and knew there was nothing conflicting there i tried it anyways. Also did DISM RestoreHealth, didn't work, so then a component cleanup and retried the first two again. When that did not work I did a quick search to see troubleshooting options, I did a sfc scan which did say it found errors but was unable to fix them. Its worth mentioning at this point in time I had never installed any third party software for antivirus/anti malware or anything. But upon right clicking it all of my playback options (restart etc.) are greyed out. When I noticed the problem I looked through my settings first and seeing nothing wrong I tried simply restarting security center through services.msc. I'm fairly well off with computers but am no expert by any means so any help would be greatly appreciated.ġ. I will list what i have been through so far to eliminate what I have already tried. i have been through many google posts trying many different things.
#WINDOWS DEFENDER PAGE NOT AVAILABLE UPDATE#
Virus and threat protection menu will not let me scan or update or do anything. I went and checked to see if windows defender was on and there no sys tray icon and the windows security menu shows as blank when opened. So my windows defender stopped working completely, i noticed it when the scan option disappeared from my context menu.
