Hello. I have such a problem ... the point is that I can't download anything from the Internet ... the problem is probably windows defender which I have somehow turned off and now it cannot be turned on again. When downloading, no matter what file, the message "Failed - anti-virus scan failed" pops up. Is there any way to activate this antivirus through the registry or some other way? If I downloaded another antivirus, would it work and I would be able to download files?
I do not know if I did everything correctly, but I made the file, entered it all, the program repaired ... but unfortunately I still can't download anything because there is a failure at the very end (scanning ...)

The user reported an issue with downloading files from the Internet, suspecting that Windows Defender was disabled and could not be reactivated. The error message "Failed - anti-virus scan failed" appeared during downloads. Various solutions were proposed, including scanning the system with Malwarebytes and using the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) to generate logs for further analysis. A registry modification was suggested to change the "ScanWithAntiVirus" setting from 3 to 1, which ultimately resolved the issue, allowing the user to download files successfully.
