Has this ever happened to you? what Antivirus do you use? let me know below.
I don't currently use any Antivirus software. I use Arch btw. Linux. ;)
Kaspersky, dgaf about the current geopolitical situation.
used McAfee for many years but the nags about it running out started earlier and earlier so went to bitdefender , did not like that so now just use windows defender. any recommendations on a good file shredder? that is one thing why i chose the 2 antivirus that i used.
I have been using Windows Defender since Windows 8.1 till now. Because it's the Antivirus preinstalled
I don't use Windows Defender
I use Kaspersky free AV
For a second I thought Microsoft were discontinuing Defender
Which led you to click on the video, which why they call it "clickbait."
@@ScottGrammer - Ah, you've gone through it as well, I see.
@@ScottGrammer indeed, but it's counter productive as far as I'm concerned as I always ignore such channels in the future, including this one.
wouldnt that be great.
Because he is a moron and he wouldn`t get enough views otherwise. But he can always get one more dislike...
This video would have been very helpful about 2 years ago. I had installed Malware bytes and to my surprise, I could not switch back to Defender, even after removing Malware bytes. Imagine my surprise when I discovered Defender had been removed from my system somehow. All that was left were registry entries for it. I was greatly unsuccessful at finding a way to reinstall Defender without doing a fresh OS install. This went on for months and I had resigned myself to starting from scratch. Then, at the beginning of the week I had put aside to go through the hell of doing it, I got an alert from Microsoft that an update was ready to install. I carefully clicked install now and waited. After several minutes and a restart or two, Defender was back!! I am still thankful for your video.
I'm pretty reliant on Windows Defender ever since Avast stopped being something I could trust, so this is a good video to have out there.
You don't really need another, though. - But other alternatives I think are good would be Malwarebytes and Kaspersky.
I don't use anything anymore, just some extensions for browsing and common sense.
What made you lose trust with Avast, other than the obvious cash grabbing they've been attempting to do lol.
@@ardeof It stopped working reliably, and repairing it got more and more difficult each time I had to reinstall it. Eventually I had to reinstall Windows just to be able to remove it at all. I stopped using them at that point, and then later they were purchased by a malware company, so I'm not going near them.
Thank you for making a video about this, Mr Britec. Just a note for anyone who is following these steps provided in the video and description:
On my machine at least, the way the 2nd command is written in the description does not work. It needs a dash "-" added to "AllUsers" [like this "-AllUsers"] and the dash before "DisableDevelopmentMode" is not properly attached, it needs to be attached: "-DisableDevelopmentMode". After fixing the dashes, it began its processes, but ignored them completely before that point.
Also, just to point out, there are two other commands in the 2nd Command area of the description that are not implemented in the video [they are "Reset Windows Store Certification" and "Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.SecHealthUI -AllUsers | Reset-AppxPackage". Are they necessary to run as well?
Thank you so much for this fix! I was running in circles trying to get past this stage! your a champ!
You're a lifesaver
thank you... I thought its my Computer Problem.
I've had Defender delete hundreds of files and folders on ALL of my hard drives (usually six) without any notification that could not be recovered, so I had to exclude entire drives to protect my system. A shocking experience. Switched to Malwarebytes exclusively and it will always be my go-to.
I too have danced the circle jerk with Defender. It allows exclusions but it's damn quick to tear out stuff that is actually safe.
I have Malwarbytes pro
I remember that old Game Defender was awesome on the Atari 2600
First off very nice video, and second I thought Microsoft was removing or making it possible to remove windows defender.
A great channel Britec! You list the command step's in your description section. O/S security configuration can only be accomplished as you've done here, where everyone can understand the task completely, Thank you! 🙏😎
I have watched a few videos comparing anti-virus and other protections and will now go back to Kaspersky or Bitdefender. Malwarebytes has worked well for me also.
Good video but if defender disappeared for me I wouldn't be worried as I use Kaspersky. Nonetheless useful video, Brian.
Thanks
I have heard from the Kim komando show, that Kaspersky has ties to the Russian government, and so it should not be used anymore, and that is why they dropped the Kaspersky as an official sponsor
@@XKageDragon That is not really true
@@willywonkawhitecaneman western CNN propaganda
Kaspersky is based in Russia.
@@willywonkawhitecaneman They are a Russian company with bases all over the world, whether they can be influenced by the Russian Government is the question that nobody can answer.
i get a blank page when i try to open Windows security. what if the commands in powershell get an error as if powershell has been compromised. Get-AppXPackage fails with "provider load failure" as well as Get-MpComputerStatus - nearly any command fails. Any ideas how to fix this?
Your thumbnail choices are .. Interesting 😉
What's wrong with them?
How can i remove it from windows bcs it makes my pc very slow..?
If I have ESET will that disable Windows Defender?
I thought you needed to run DISM before you run SFC. DISM mends the component store that SFC relies on?
@@saltee_crcker2363 My understanding, which I accept might by wrong, is that DISM checks and repairs the component store as Microsoft call it. This is effectively a backup copy of the system files. SFC checks to see if system files are broken, if they are it looks in the component store to find undamaged copies which it uses to repair the system files in use.
Yo what happened bro? I have old laptop windows 10 still have these did not gone just imagine why would Microsoft remove very dangerous I could blame Microsoft for doing that
LOL If windows defender is gone then count yourself lucky
hahahahahahahahahahahHahahHHhHhHaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaaaaAahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaahhhhhaahHHahahahHhaha
Honestly it would be the best thing to happen cuz mine keeps deleting legit files i use and its so frustrating to get them back
@@androidlgg392 Maybe those "legit files" have malware in them otherwise it wouldn't delete them. I'm suspicious of your comment because it never deletes the files and rather only quarantines them unless you have changed that setting. Also, it's possible that you are a pentester and/or working with malware is part of your job, in that case you should delete it on your work device or use another OS built for that purpose. Please let me know if I'm wrong.
Thank you
Windows Defender gone is a blessing.
Nah
You can use system Restore, just check if there are any restore before the Problem
I copied and pasted the commands in as you explained and got this message: The term 'Reset-AppxPackage' is not recognized
same issue bro
After i press "a". Nothing happens and i just see new text "PS c:\ window\system\32> I think i have some kind of rootkit on computer. its blocking me from these common fixes.
On my machine at least, the way the 2nd command is written in the description does not work. It needs a dash "-" added to "AllUsers" [like this "-AllUsers"] and the dash before "DisableDevelopmentMode" is not properly attached, it needs to be attached: "-DisableDevelopmentMode". After fixing the dashes, it began its processes, but ignored them completely before that point.
I updated to windows 11 and had this issue, this guide helped bring it back! thanks!
Do you have a brightness slider on windows 11 ?
@@ronkali5365 No, but i use a monitor so i adjust it on that. My mothers laptop with windows 11 has a brightness slider though, im pretty sure
@@oscatMeow I use a tv, and it's been a killer.Don't why Microsoft would release crap like this
same thing happened to me but not yet fixed, is there anything specific in this video that made yours work again?
@@daiDH Its been a while since its been fixed so i dont quite remember, but i think 4:37 onward helped me fix it. But i think i did try everything in this video.
When I enter the second command it doesnt start rebuilding all the apps, instead it just goes to the next line
My sound was gone after upgrade to Win 11 with more updates needing uploaded before it was back again.
its strange that issues like this appear when its "only" 2 years left of support on a windows version. Not to be that guy but it seems like they get a little bit lazy and forget important bug fixes when its close to the systems "death" ..
Left the windows aka microsoft ecobubble 1 year ago and life have been alot more relaxed after, no more suprices or strange bugs or issues. Everything simply works.
If i want to see or experience what i left i can boot up my dual boot windows and something get installed behind my back within minutes and its no warning or notice about it.. I try and avoid it though since its a headache to remove the suspicious program or files that was installed.
My current windows planning when using it is to 1: boot it up 2: use it 3: (when finished) check for installed junk that was installed behind my back 4: Remove the installed junk for 30-60 minutes 5: if clean and restored, turn off the system. If not clean and still junk installed repeat step 3-5 for another 30-60 minutes..
So i can use windows and estimate the time required but when it comes to turn windows off is always a questionmark, i never know how much work i have to do before i can turn it off. At times it have been 1-2 hours before i can turn it off due to that microsoft themself makes the junkware almost impossible to remove.
Thats the reason I dont use defender, the application itself can easily be tempered. No doubt the detection is great but the stability of program is just below average.
"Guys! You don't need a third party antivirus! Windows defender is all you need!" You really trust microsoft to protect your PC after all the times they've broken things in updates? get a third party AV and then follow Britec's guide to "only install security updates" delay the patch tuesday updates by 14 days.
I check up on Windows security and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware(realtime scanning off) while cleaning up every 4-6 weeks or so.. no major issues from the past 8-10 years.
What version of windows 10 that doesn't have windows defender? We want that version so much
Why would you do this? I mean, Windows defender is excellent program. On windows 7 i used to use NOD64 which worked fine i guess, never had virus lol.
Defender was never any good anyways ....... Norton and Spyhunter have kept me safe for over 10 years now
As a guy that maintains 1600 PC's and upgrading all of them at the same time for since beginning of Windows 10, this has never happened...
Not sure what are you doing to make this happen
It just happened to me. I cloned my system drive and restored it to a new NVMe. After that, I updated my motherboard BIOS and installed a new CPU. No idea when it actually disappeared, but it was probably after one of these actions.
How to stop Windows 10 update for singing in Windows 11
Mine isn't gone but it is not updating it says some of the files are missing something like that. What should I do?
after the 2nd command the yellow thing didnt happened for me what am i missing?
I pay for a subscription for Total AV and I've never had any of the issues that seem to plague other users and I'm even using Windows 11-have been since inception. Of course, I'm an IT tech for a publicly held company here in the states and I maintain my machines and avoid dodgy sites and the only things I torrent are movies. Honestly, I wouldn't care so much if Defender wasn't there. It's improved over the years but I don't think it's that robust of a solution-certainly not enterprise grade.
Total AV is like snake oil
@@Britec09 They all are snake oil to a point in that they offer "features" that no one will ever use. However, I find most paid options to be more feature rich and robust solutions than any built in antimalware program. It does a good job of analyzing new downloaded .exe's for malicious code and uploads suspicious files to the cloud for analysis-something I believe that Defender does not and cannot do. The one issue I had with it was it kept flagging my Monero Wallet as malware ( so I assume some type of heurstics is present along with standard signature detection) I believe Defender relies solely on signatures-an inherent weakness of the program if I am correct. I had to set exclusions for Total AV and the issue was resolved. Most people are not very bright and easily led-like sheep and their degree of computer literacy is abysmal at best-a scary thing considering the ubiquity of the devices. Most people should stick with Defender as they do not possess either the will or mental acuity to configure even the most basic of software. Hell, half of my clients I'm surprised when they're able to turn the computer on.
no it didn't work there is no services of window defender
the second command didn't work for me.
I type it and press enter but nothing
Brian, what about all the many people who've been told they can rely on Windows Defender, that it's great? (I sure don't remember all the people to whom I've made that recommendation.) Personally, I use Eset's NOD32 AV & Malwarebytes.
No issues here and I just updated W10. Everything is in the green, connected & On. Kind of had me going for a minute. I have backup security, as well.
And how is Defender going away a problem?
I rather leave it disappear cause I never use Windows Defender since Windows 7. There are lots of Free security softwares that offer many better solutions.
First Step didnt work i cant figure out why, any suggestions?
How to remove Windows Defender..
I don't know why I thought that this is going to be video about Microsoft removing Windows Defender from Windows 10 to force users to upgrade
What the hell? No it hasn't. Windows Defender is up and running fine on my machine which updated a couple of days ago.
I wonder how reliable your opinion is avast bank mode
🙂 interesting, ive never seen that problem yet, u gotta love Windows 😉
I know, right?
Its not doing that when i press Yes to all which is A
help?
mine was actually gone... powershell method didn't work also what should I do?... I am studying programming so I dont want to reformat my pc I have set up alot...
what i mean is that whatever package config used to install it is also gone...
Has anyone pondered that the functionality of Windows defender was incorporated into the most recent update of Windows? Before attempting to add additional software and an additional application running on your system perhaps someone should confirm these details with Microsoft.
It happened to me when I was on windows 11, Then I reinstalled windows thinking that it was a bug. I tried several methods from the internet but none of them worked. I found out that its a virus that steals your passwords saved in browsers, deletes the windows defender and disables UAC prob does mining too. It was a hard time dealing with it. Your fix is definitely most effective way.
Can anyone tell me the name of that iso file? Cause I tried all other ways but they didn't work so l am looking for this iso file.😢
and me here.... disabling defender to this level intentionally.. heh..
Windows 10 Defender still seems fine to me?
i cant understand what i can type after a
What is with Microsoft that they cannot just repair this on an update?
I thought MS stopped supporting Defender...even though windows is constantly telling me that defender is not enabled and, of course, you can't enable what you can no longer see.
Really hating Windows!
Fine with me, I use malwarebytes and defender always complain that it wasn't the sole program
Win10 debloated itself automatically 😂
Umm, Windows defender is still on my system, Win10, I've had malware bytes and others off and on and defender has NEVER removed itself or reinstalled at all.
I never had that issue I wish it would go away for good. I have a 3rd party AV and do not need defender.
I think that would be great if that could happen on my computer. Windows defender doesn't actually protect your computer anyway and it does a great job of hogging resources unnecessarily. I've always used a third-party protection like zonealarm and had to disable most of Windows defender because my computer run at half-speed no matter how long it got to sit.
Wow, thanks for sharing this!!!!
Which windows 10 version was that? the latest one?
When a product or service is free, you usually get exactly what you pay for.
I would rue the day when they remove that unwanted virus.
Is this only an issue with W10 Pro? my version does not seem to be affected....[Windows 10 Home 22h2]
Great video Brian. I will give this a try when I see the issue again. Normally I backup the clients data, format and reload.
Thanks for the support
My Defender is still ok....don't know what the deal is???
Well i purposely remove defender and don't use any antivirus.
I use the firewall in my router vpn600.
I don't get on any warez sites or download torrents.
I don't save Important files or software on the windows partition
Should i ever get a virus i reinstall windows or write a recent image back on c drive
Oh god!!!! Why would anyone want Windows Defender? It is horrible. Its mostly a Advertising platform. Companies pay for their products to be part of the Defender profile. Also anyone who uses Virus software is most likely not skilled enough to NOT need it.
I just checked one of my windows ten computers and it is still there in is running right now
What the hell? I just opened Defender in Windows 10 Pro and it is still there. I am current in my upgrades.
Did this happen with the 22h2 update cause I haven't updated to that yet and I still have windows defender on all 3 of my computers
Is this a bug or is it deliberate for windows 10? Also, if it is not a bug, is it unavoidable?
Feature Update to Windows 10, version 22H2
The next version of Windows is available with new features and security improvements. When you're ready for the update, select "Download and install".
Hi Brian, talking about updates. I've had this 'invite' sitting now for a few weeks in my 'windows updates'. Knowing how you say, 'don't jump into every 'feature invite' from MS unless it's 'security related' .. you see I do listen to your advise!
Can you please advise on this one, could it be related to your 'Defender' issue maybe?
atvb t ..
Good video. I had similar problem with a client's system a while ago. I spent way too many time trying to get it back.
Can this be done for Microsoft edge as well.
Microsoft edge doesn't open one file was deleted by Malwarebytes I allowed access to delete it, thought that it won't affect edge and windows update will fix it but nothing happened after windows update and now edge doesn't open anyone while everything else is fine no problems but is there a way to get edge back without having to do reinstall windows.
Any suggestions Brian.
So what happened?
And you wonder why people are reluctant to upgrade to 11? Half baked and rushed out to market . What a joke !!!!
Cool! Vid! Again and always!
Thanks again!
Windows Defender is useless. I did Deskside Support for awhile. The LAN was hit repeatedly by virus outbreaks with major damage, it was at a City Hall. It was a McCaffey site. We removed McCaffey, installed the free Malwarebytes and removed the viruses. McCaffey couldn't. Then, since it was a McCaffey site, we removed Malwarebytes and re-installed McCaffey.
Then what does that have to do with Windows Defender?
I just checked and I still have it. I'm running Windows 10 Pro, 22H2, Build 19045.2546, Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4190.0.
Hi, if possible please make a video on windows defender definitions that get downloaded every time we check for updates. Thanks.
Nothing weird going on. These are just the regular updates.
Because you manually check for updates, you might get them a little earlier than when you let the automated update handle it.
@@andreasplosky8516 hi, thanks for your reply. Just wondering how to see the codes of a defender security definition? Probably need a MS software. Anyway it would be cool to see what we're downloading.
@@adelbneil7311 Calm down, It's just more Spyware.
thumbnail was so hot btw lmfao
Man I'll never update my computer if windows defender gets deleted. I hate defender
hmm,not yet on my windows 10pro..
still on my windows 10 22h2 just updated virus protections.
windows defender is going strong on my machine, how did you lose it?
Still got mine 29/1/2023.
the real question is how you got rid of it! pesky little resource hogging defender
132MB? Thats a fart in the bathtub amount of "resources" Come on now
@@HackHunter1835 Mate have you seen the CPU and disk usage when it's scanning?
I am not a fan of windows defender, you can completely remove it
@@FirstnameLastname-we6dh he clearly has no idea what resources we are talking about lol
You don't need AV software, just practice safe-hex.
Curious to know more details about your approach?
the free versions of Zone alarm or avg free or avast free i have tried and are good
didn't microsft security essentials replace windows defender on windows 10
so windows defender gone is a bad thing nowadays ?😮
Windows defender gone? Lucky you. Windows defender has been an absolute A-hole and I tried everything to get rid of it.
Absolute resource hog on a low end laptop which never goes online.
I actually think I'd prefer to have a virus on the laptop... it cannot possibly run any slower.
Best solution I found was a completely de-loused version of Windows 10 call tiny ten. All thr $hit removed and windows 10 is actually usable on an old laptop.
Window Defender is coming into "pay per view"?
Good riddance. Why would I want to restore this official Microsoft malware?
The premium version of Malware Bytes is way better than MS Defender, and Defender only interferes with the proper operation of MWB.
Thanks, Brian.
My pleasure!
