why my windows defender can't turn on

if i click my windows defender or run it with "run as admistrator", the error box always comes up and it says
"This application is turned off by group policy

If you are using another app to check for malicuous or unwanted soft use Action Centre to check that app's status

To allow this aplication to run, contact your security administrator to enable the program via goup policy."
i have done the instruction "ctrl + r" and search windows service centre and i can't change it into automatic
