May 15, 2019 This is a simple method to turn Windows Defender back on your Windows PC. Fix 6: Check If Windows Defender Is Running. Windows use some services to work properly. However, if there is a fault in one of those services, you can face certain issues. Try to enable your Windows Defender if you are facing issues with it. Enable Windows Defender Antivirus Scanning: Enable Windows Defender Antivirus scanning for real-time protection or scheduled scans. Block untrusted and unsigned processes on USB peripherals: Block USB files that are unsigned or untrusted. Protect against Direct Memory Access (DMA) attacks: Configure settings to protect against DMA attacks. Aug 06, 2019 To disable the notifications, uncheck the “Notify me when Windows Defender Firewall blocks a new app” option. There are two options here: one for private networks and one for public. This window is a pretty common sight on Windows, and you’ll usually have some idea why an application wants this level of network access.
Yes, it is a good thing that Windows 10 has security features like Defender SmartScreen built in, but sometimes they get in the way. You really want to install this app — you know there's nothing wrong with it — but you're locked out.
Windows Defender SmartScreen acts as a sort of guard dog while you use Windows 10. It will block you from opening some apps if they come from an unknown place or are created by an unknown publisher. While these steps will get you around the Windows 10 block, you should use them with care. Some apps really are harmful and really will get you in a mess. Only go around the Windows 10 app block if you know for sure that the file is safe.
How to open a file blocked by Windows Defender SmartScreen
If a file you know is safe is going to give you trouble when you attempt to launch it, you can quickly give it permission to open.
Windows Defender Blocking My Printer
- Navigate to the file or program that's being blocked by SmartScreen.
- Right-click the file.
Click Properties.
- Click the checkbox next to Unblock so that a checkmark appears.
Click Apply.
The file should now be treated as safe by SmartScreen and you'll be allowed to open it. If you're running into further problems, try running the program as an Administrator in addition to the steps above.
How to disable Windows Defender SmartScreen
Although not recommended, SmartScreen can be disabled through Windows Defender. If you must completely disable SmartScreen, we recommend re-enabling it soon after.
- Launch Windows Defender Security Center from your Start menu, desktop, or taskbar.
- Click the App and browser control button on the left side of the window.
Click Off in the Check apps and files section.
- Click Off in the SmartScreen for Microsoft Edge section.
Click Off in the SmartScreen for Windows Store apps section.
SmartScreen is now completely disabled. If you'd like to still receive a warning when a potentially malicious file or program is detected, you can choose Warn in each SmartScreen section.
How to enable Windows Defender SmartScreen
Once you've done everything that SmartScreen was preventing you from doing, you should immediately go back and re-enable it. Even if the file or program you were working with was known not to be malicious, forgetting to enable SmartScreen could lead to big problems in the future.
- Launch Windows Defender Security Center from your Start menu, desktop, or taskbar.
- Click the App and browser control button on the left side of the window.
Click Block in the Check apps and files section.
- Click Block in the SmartScreen for Microsoft Edge section.
Click Warn in the SmartScreen for Windows Store apps section.
