    I get this error as well. Because the digital signature cannot be verified resulting in Defender failing to start, Windows Update cannot install updates for Defender!! So I now have a failing update that won't go away!!

    it seems like there is some new malware that turns windows defender off.  even when everything else is cleaned out it won't turn back on.

    says the app is turned off by group policy
