Windows Defender Warning

Comment:

Each time I turn my computer, I am getting a warning box that says "Windows Defender - Application failed to initialize:0x800106ba A problem caused Window Defender Service to stop. To start the service, restart your computer or search Help and Support on how to start a service manually - OK" When I check my windows firewall it indicates that it is in fact on. I have not been able to figure out how to get rid of this annoying box. Any suggestions? Thanks.
