This functional unit is integrated into Windows Defender and ensures that your PC is protected against malicious software. Once you have installed antivirus software such as AVG Antivirus, Antivirus, Norton, etc., they take over the tasks of Virus & Threat Protection.

If you receive this message, the service has been stopped and there is a problem. To solve this problem, please proceed as follows:

Troubleshooting - The threat service has been stopped

Step 1: Restart Virus & Threat Protection

Under Windows, navigate to the magnifying glass icon in the lower left corner and then type "Defender" in the search bar. Then select "Windows Defender Settings".

Continue by clicking "Open Windows Defender Security Center". For viruses and threat protection, please select "Restart now".

If this does not lead to the desired result, please check now whether a Windows Update is available.

Step 2: Perform Windows Updates

By updating the relevant Windows system files, the problem can often be solved easily. Please proceed as follows:

To do this, navigate i the following submenu of the Windows system:

  • Settings --> Update and Security --> Windows Update

Now select "Check for Updates / Install Now".

The system will now check for the latest software updates, which you should then install.

Step 3: Update your antivirus software

Since the Virus & Threat Protection is directly related to the installed anti-virus software, you should always check whether a new update is available for the software. Also this can very often help to solve the problem.

We hope that one of the above tips will help your system, especially the virus & threat protection, to function properly again.
