Recently I've been playing the game Everhood and one of the achievements is to get a total of 150,000 jump rolls which involves pressing the jump button and a left or right button at the same time.

On Windows 8.1/10 when a third party antimalware program (such as McAfee, Norton, etc) is installed the Windows Defender (WD) program is disabled.

If you wish to use WD on Win 8.1/10 you should ensure that any third party antimalware program that may be on the computer (or was previously on the computer before it was upgraded
to Win 10) has been uninstalled. It is recommended that you also run the appropriate software removal tool for the third party program(s) and then reboot the computer. See List of
anti-malware product removal tools

WD should then be enabled and working properly though you might need to restart WD in Security Service/Action Center.
