Windows defender error, anyone else getting it?

[Tim]

Hey guys,

Just started getting this error when trying to use windows defender.

Looked on Google and people seem to think it's an activation problem, but everything seems fine in my computer properties. I've tried all the fixes too, and nothing has solved it.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Tim

Maybe it time to buy a AV? I'm not having that problem but I will check

Ok, I got the same error and I just restarted my pc and I am testing again

I got the same error again, I will contact Microsoft about this tomorrow

It seems to be a problem for most people

Hopefully they'll roll out a fix soon
