Windows Defender and Firewall turns self off

[steveinparis]

Each time I turn on my laptop, I receive warnings that my firewall is turned
off and Defender is turned off. I can turn on the firewall and all checks
out ok. On occasion I can turn on Defender manually, however there is a
warning message that defender is reporting back to the security center in a
format which is "out of date"

I have tried running all program and definition updates available, still no
success.

I have a similar issue which has popped up in the last three days. When I
turn on and boot up my pc, windows defender is turned off and I get a
Security Center warning. I can turn it back on, but it happens every time I
boot up. Also, security center will no longer recognize my Panda Cloud
antivirus - again, happened in the last three days, same time as the Defender
issue. Any ideas?
