It has been three days since I reinstalled Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware Beta using the instructions above in this forum topic, and it seems to be working normally now. It no longer drops protection spontaneously, and it is operative every time I reboot without having to turn it on manually. When it says I am protected the green dot is present, as opposed to before when it would say I was protected in one area of the window but not in another area of the same window with a red dot present and not letting me start protection. Thanks for the help. If it misbehaves again, I'll report it in this forum topic.

Yes, that did make a difference, but it doesn't seem to be consistent. Sometimes it starts protecting right away and other times it takes a while. Then some times it says I am protected, but that Anti-Ransomware Protection is disabled (red dot), and it doesn't let me start protection. A reboot generally fixes the last situation. Maybe over time it will become more consistent. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the information. However, it does seem odd that we would have to opt in each time to something that is designed to protect us. I would rather have it start automatically when I booted my computer. Perhaps there is a reason for it that I am missing?

Anti-Ransomware Beta protects part of the time and then will suddenly drop protection without notifying me. I discover it by opening the program to check. Now it is saying that my system is "fully protected," but also says "Anti-Ransomware Protection is disabled," and it won't let me start protection.
