What is happening with this new install I have done??? On a Dell workstation I have installed Windows 11 Pro and activated it fine from a completely new install but there are some glaring issues straight away. Firstly the services for Windows defender all appear to be missing: [attach]58[/attach] Which looks to me like it has been deleted from HKEY local machine>system control set>services so that the data cannot be recovered from the registry Then the Defender pages say that everything is fine except that the virus status is unknown??? [attach]59[/attach] Presumably this is because the services have been deleted, but how did this happen?
