Windows defender

When I try to start this program on my PC I first get a windows telling me
it is switched off. I I want to use it I can click a link.
Om my laptop this doesn't happen, WD starts right away.
(I do have Comodo internet security installed on both machines also)

How can I make WD running by default?

Turn it on in "Settings"

One AV resident at a time. Pick one,use the other as on demand scanner.

In previous releases of Windows 10, there was a control
to turn on and off "Real Time" protection.

The current version touts a couple of kinds of protection,
that have control switches. But the Real Time protection
control is missing, implying unlike commercial AV products
where you can turn off protection for 10 or 15 minutes,
you can't turn WD off at all (for Real Time protection).

*******

You can run these in a PowerShell Administrator window.

Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring 1 # Disable real time monitoring
Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring 0 # Enable it again

That causes WD to have a red title bar, implying it's
turned off.

So that's the equivalent of the slider control that used
to exist.

I was testing this just yesterday, when running Windows 10
in "OneCPU" mode. I had a piece of software that forks too
many threads, to the point that the number of connections
created by the software, tips over my router. It seemed
to be practically as many connections as a Torrent. And
while I was testing that, I noticed that MsMpEng was using
practically the whole single core I had running, for its
own usage. I had to switch that off, so I could continue
testing. The above PowerShell commands are the advice
I found.
