Mathew,
thank you for your reply.
This is a brand new clean install of windows pro.
It's a brand new MSI titan-071, I wiped it to get rid of any bloatware and unwanted stuff.
I installed a brand new clean install of Windows Pro.
then updated all widows drivers. Then went to make sure Widows Defender was "turned on".
When I click on Windows Defender Security Center or any of the Defender Tabs; such as Anti-Virus
the hourglass by the pointer starts turning like something should be happening but nothing ever does, it just keeps spinning.
I have to restart the computer to make the hourglass stop spinning. I have waited for 20-minutes before restarting.
Windows is turned on because it blocked an app I was trying to install but I cannot choose or change any options or manually run a scan.
I have not installed any other antivirus, malware or ransomware.
please help, I am pulling my hair out
