HELP! One day when i turned on my laptop, got a strange error, windows
defenser will not start
 
Does it give a numeric error code? What antivirus do you have installed,
and was it recently updated in some way?
 
McAfee's product is preventing Windows Defender from starting. This is
intentional, but in this case it hasn't been done very neatly. If you can't
find a support article from Mcafee about how to handle this, going to the
services control panel and setting the Windows Defender services' startup
type to disabled will remove the error message.
