I ran the command again and I got the message that said "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations." I tried starting the Windows Defender service and I got the same error.

Lets reset the parameters

First create a restore point

Then download the attached zip file and extract Win def.reg

Right click the reg file and select merge
Reboot and try again
