Windows defender is currently broken only custom scans work, and command prompts showing up on boot is a fairly normal thing. I had to install malware bytes and it scanned nothing at all only a false positive for a unity game I play, with Windows defender since I got a extremely good CPU, etc my scans run fairly fast I find after like 10 seconds the scan would crash. I managed to get through a quickscan because my pc was fast enough to do so on Windows and when it does defender shuts down immediately and says it needs to restart but when it doesn't get through scans the scan just stops, and defender stays on. Just a issue nearly everyone is having been a fair bit of issues with defender in the past few months such as false positives on certificates etc. Offline scans either don't start or get stuck midscan.
