Hi, everyone!
I am on a Windows 8.1 and I am trying to use the Windows Defender WMI providers via Powershell. I have last used this machine about 2 months ago and there were no troubles with it. Now when I run `Get-MpPreference` cmdlet it fails with the message:
Get-MpPreference : The 'Get-MpPreference' command was found in the module 'Defender', but the module could not be
loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module Defender'.
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-MpPreference
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Get-MpPreference:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotAutoloadMatchingModule
Following the instruction I tried `Import-Module Defender` which gave me:
Import-Module : The module to process 'MSFT_MpWDOScan.cdxml', listed in field 'NestedModules' of module manifest
'C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\Defender\Defender.psd1' was not processed because no valid module
was found in any module directory.
At line:1 char:1
+ Import-Module Defender
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ResourceUnavailable: (Defender:String) [Import-Module], PSInvalidOperationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Modules_ModuleFileNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ImportModuleCommand
Again everything was fine some months ago. And by the way the same thing happened on another machine under Windows 8.1 (an HP laptop).
I could really use an advice here. Please help)
