AVG Internet Security

I have windows 11 with windows 365. The Windows Defender app which apparently comes with Windows 11 did not interfere with AVG until recently. Now I am unable to turn AVG Internet Security on. It is disabled and won't even open. I suspect a recent windows update might have deactivated AVG because Defender now seems to be the only option.I have not been able to turn Defender off.
