I have a small on-line vendor who has a bunch of Windows 10 computers (various models). All are running latest Windows 10 with updates. Most are running Kaspersky, but some (including the CEO's daughter's) are just running Defender.

He says that that on occasion, the defender machines will report that Defender is turned off. They turn them back on, but later (when turned on), Defender is off.

I've told him to verify each time they do a shutdown that Defender is on and the status when next time turned on. When it happens again told him to check the event logs immediately. Also check the machines for any startup or scheduled events.

Suggestions on actions he can take to further investigate would be appreciated... TIA
