I'm running Fix-it Utilities Professional 12.  The first time I installed it, Win Defender remained on and active.  I'm having trouble recently with the CPU running @ Max, 100% continuously. In my search to find what is taxing the CPU so hard, it was suggested

I remove and reinstall the Fix-it program. which I did using the downloaded removal tool.  After the installation, Win defender appears in the task bar with a warning that it is turned off.  I have tried to turn it on.  Sometimes it comes on, sometimes I get

an error that it timed out, and to try again later.  Every time I reboot, it turns off again.  Should I just leave it off?   Now I have to figure out how to disable the warning I guess. 

Thanks for any input.
