Windows 10 won't let you turn on real-time protection? So you can fix it

A few days ago we saw how to improve the protection of our computers by activating folder control. An option that protects the folders that we determine from malware attacks on our computer. However, during the activation of this step you may encounter problems.

This is a function that has arrived with Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (1709) but even if you have it installed, you may find it impossible to activate this system as well. A problem you can solve with these steps.

"

To do this we go to the configuration of Windows Defender for which we use the fastest method which is to go to the taskbar and In it, by pressing the up arrow, access the Windows Defender icon that appears in the shape of a shield in the small box that opens."

"

Once inside the Windows Defender Security Center look for direct access to Antivirus and threat protection. It is the first access on the left."

"

Here we are going to see, on the one hand, the history of all the tests that you have submitted to your computer and if we continue moving the mouse we arrive at the option Settings for antivirus and protection against threats in which we must _click_ with the mouse."

"

Once inside we must look for the option and activate Control access to the folder but we may find the icon in gray as is the case. At this point we have to pull the system console."

"To do this we use the Win + X key combination, Command Prompt but as an administrator (note, this is important)."

The classic window opens and in it we must write the instruction DISM /online /cleanup-image /Scanhe alth. We will have to wait a few seconds, then starting a percentage count that will be completed in a few minutes.

When we reach the end another waiting time and again we have to write an order, this time DISM /online /cleanup-image /Restorehe alth . As in the previous case, another percentage goes up and here the waiting time is longer.

When finished type sfc /scannow and exit.

"We carry out the steps of the first part again and see how both the Folder Control and the Real-time Protection option are once again functional on our computer so that we can activate them at will. "
