Windows Defender Error
When I fired up the BOOM (Big Old Office Machine) the past few mornings, I noticed a message box:

Could not start the Windows Defender Service service on Local Computer.
I took a look at the Services utility and noticed the Windows Defender Service service was disabled! No wonder it wouldn't start:

A quick search revealed some interesting info and a pointer to the help file:

Note Item 2...
Installing a new version did the trick.
