I am using Windows 10 Pro 1909 x64 version updated to the February 2020 cumulative update.
My update stopped working with the error 0X8008005 which was fixed by a solution by @Jose J Pascual on this forum.
But along with my update, the defender stopped working.
I have tried everything possible which includes:
1. Changing the group policies
2. Changing registry entries
3. Uninstalling several applications which might have affected the defender
4. Force closing and restarting various services
5. Everything that I could possibly find on the internet
But the defender just does not turn on. While going through the solutions, I found that MSASCui.exe is missing from the folder which I am assuming is the issue. But I also could not find a downloadable version of it online.
This is happening the second time. The first time, I had to format my entire system and reinstall windows in order to get things back in order. But this time I am not in a state to be able to format my system. So I will need a fix asap. Please. My system is running without any antivirus at this point. And I do not want to install a third-party antivirus. Please help me with a solution, if there is any.
