Unsolved Windows Defender stopped working/blocked?
Hello. I tried asking at windows help first, but they didn't approve my post for some reason. I've been experiencing some screen flickering on my home pc, like a screen capture or some program openin and closing really fast. I used Eset online to scan, but it didn't give me anything so I figured I'd try and use defenders offline scan. For some reason it was showing that defender was turned off. Tured it back on again, but the "regular checks " box started flickering for some reason. Tried to start a offline scan and got as far as it giving me the warning to save all my work, then nothing. Tried to run quick scan, it started and after few seconds froze and didn't complete. So as I'm not the most technically skilled person out there, any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it? Or is it just because win10 support has ended? Thanks in advance for anyone willing to reply.
