Windows Defender Won't Start After Upgrade To Windows 10 & Spybot Install
Knowing that the Windows 10 install program would remove Spybot S&D 2.4, I went ahead and uninstalled it myself before the upgrade. The Windows 10 Professional upgrade (32-bit) went smoothly and everything worked afterward (including Windows Defender) so I used the Spybot "Post-Win10 Spybot-install" icon which had been placed on the desktop to reinstall the new 2.5 version of the program. After it was installed I began to get notices that I needed to turn on Windows Defender. Well I've tried to do that multiple times but it simply won't turn back on. I've been running Spybot and Microsoft Security Essentials (& its later successor Windows Defender) together with no problem since Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Why now all of the sudden would Spybot shut down Windows Defender when it never has before? I have to believe that I'm not the only guy this has happened to thus far but I could find no other references to this exact problem on the Forum. I feel like the answer has to be a simple one. Thanks & standing by...
Spybot has conflicts with Windows 10 Defender
Have continued to have problems running Spybot with Windows 10 Defender.
After upgrading to Windows 10 two months ago, I was unable to install and run Defender. The solution was to uninstall Spybot and then install Defender. However, after re-installing Spybot, Defender would not start up at boot or reboot.
Poked around and discovered that a Spybot setting has to be changed; otherwise, Defender will not start up or run.
In Spybot Settings, the first selection is for SECURITY CENTER SERVICE and for INTEGRATION INTO WINDOWS SECURITY CENTER. There is a check-box for ACTIVE AFTER EVERY REBOOT. This box must be UNCHECKED for Defender to start up and run!!
As of today, this problem still persists!!
This week, I discovered, that Spybot will inhibit Defender from accurately reporting scan details. After running a full scan, Defender scan details will show LAST SCAN: mm/dd @ hh:mm QUICK SCAN instead of FULL SCAN.
After uninstalling Spybot ... again ... and running a Defender full scan, the scan details accurately shows LAST SCAN: Today @ hh:mm (FULL SCAN).
I have re-installed Spybot and expect that it will inhibit Defender from accurately reporting scan details.
These problems need to be fixed!!
