Some third party virus removed Windows defender entirely from my computer

[vishalnagarajan]

I checked the windows defender on my Laptop. I found that it is empty, the whole screen is empty. so I followed various resolving issues online and found that windows defender is completely deleted from my Laptop.





C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Platform\4.18.2009.5-0

The Windows Defender folder is completely empty

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows Defender\Platform\4.18.2009.5-0(especially)



Check for windows update also not working error code: (0x80080005)

Windows 10 home single language.version :2004


PS: I know reset windows will resolve this but I want a different solution without resetting windows.
