- Open Windows Defender by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type Defender, and then, in the list of results, click Windows Defender.
- On the Home tab, click Turn On.

Microsoft has not made Windows Defender available for personal use on macOS devices. The Office of Information Technology does not officially recommend or support any specific third-party antivirus product for macOS.
