While doing Scan (Full/Quick) using Windows Defender in Windows 8 I am getting the error message "The Windows Defender Service service terminated unexpectedly. " Error code/keyword: 0x8080000000000000 does any have any solution for this?
My Windows Defender is up to date.
I have tried restarting my machine! and I was still getting the same message that means problem is persistent and non-intermittent type.
I tried scanning with Anti-Malware and found no Malware.
For more information I am pasting the Event viewer information!
