Unable to run windows defender in parallel


Recommended Posts

I am not able to run windows defender and malwarebytes in parallel. If i select the option - Never register malwarebytes in the windows action center then windows defender is completely disabled. I have attached the screenshots. 

Malwarebytes ver# 3.6.1.2711

Please advise.

Hello and Welcome!

Please do the following to gather some logs so the team can take a look at your installation and attempt to find the cause of the problem:

  1. Download and run the Malwarebytes Support Tool
  2. Accept the EULA and click Advanced tab on the left (not Start Repair)
  3. Click the Gather Logs button, and once it completes, attach the zip file it creates on your desktop to your next reply


Thanks

Greetings,

I did notice a couple of items in your logs so we'll see if one of those may be the cause.

First, the log shows that Windows Action Center Integration for Malwarebytes is set to default, and while this is supposed to allow Defender to work, it's possible that for some reason it isn't so please open Malwarebytes and toggle the Action Center setting on and then off again just to make sure it reads and loads the setting properly, then restart the system to check and see if Windows Defender is now working or not.

If that failed to resolve it, then please try uninstalling and reinstalling Malwarebytes to see if that corrects the problem (just uninstall it normally via Programs and Features for now; a clean uninstall should not be necessary).  You can download the latest version from here.

Please let us know how it goes and whether or not the issue is now resolved.

Thanks

I tried both the options and uninstalled and re-installed malwarebytes. But the problem still persists. The moment i change the setting to "Never register malwarebytes in the windows action center",  windows defender says - "Your virus and threat protection is managed by your organization".

Please advise.
