With the arrival of Windows 10, Microsoft gave Windows Defender a boost, the application that was in charge of controlling all the applications that we installed on our hard drive, informing us not only if it is dangerous for the system because the developer is not known, but also informs us that it contains some type of virus, malware, spyware ...
As the months passed since the launch of Windows 10, many were the users who realized that with only Windows Defender it was not necessary to use any third-party antivirus, a fantastic idea that allowed us to save a few euros every year, with which we can also buy a valid Windows 10 license that will work for any computer.
But if you are one of those users who has never trusted Windows Defender, it is likely that in the past you have disabled it so that it does not interfere with the antivirus you have installed on your computer. If you think that Windows Defender has matured enough to entrust the integrity of your computer to Microsoft's antivirus, then we show you the steps to follow to return to activate Windows Defender on your Windows 10 computer.
To do it in the most comfortable way possible without entering the system, we must make use of the NoDefender app, an application that we can download through this link. This application allows us to completely deactivate Windows Defender, but in turn, it also allows us to reactivate it.
Once we have downloaded it, when we run it, it will detect that Windows Defender is already deactivated on our computer, so it will show us the button Activate Windows Defender, button that when you click on it, the Windows antivirus will start up again.
Before performing this step, it is advisable uninstall the antivirus that we have installed at that moment, Since otherwise, the two are likely to conflict and eliminating it will give you a lot of headaches.
