Windows Defender not working in Windows 10

Today I experienced a problem in my Windows 10 Creator's Update system. I noticed that my Windows Defender was not working properly and a red x was by the Virus and Threat scan feature.

Many people have said that Malwarebytes is the cause of this. They say that Malwarebytes disables the features of Windows Defender.

After some research I found by opening the start menu - run and typing gpedit.msc

Once this menu is open click Policies - Administrative templates - Windows components - Windows Defender Antivirus.

When you have Windows Defender Antivirus open scroll down until you see it say - Turn off Windows Defender Antivirus - doubleclick that feature and select disable
