- For the first time ever, you can enroll your personal Windows 10 PC in the ESU program. See Windows 10 Consumer Extended Security Updates (ESU) program for detailed information on the ESU program for personal devices.

After installing the latest updates for Microsoft Defender Antivirus, notifications might appear stating that "Microsoft Defender Antivirus is turned off," even though the antivirus is functioning correctly and all settings show it as active. These notifications can appear when Windows starts and intermittently afterward. They persist even if notification settings are turned off.
This issue can be observed in any version of Windows or Windows Server with Microsoft Defender Antivirus running with the latest Defender updates.
Next steps: We are working to release a resolution in a future Microsoft Defender Antivirus update and will provide more information when it is available.
