What anti-virus program do you have installed ?

RE : Windows Firewall
Some anti-virus programs do shut down Windows Firewall. Go to the support forum of your anti-virus program and fnd out if it is so.

RE : Windows Defender
If you have one of the following anti-virus (AV) programs installed, your Windows Defender will get shut down. It is because those AVs have their own defender. Running 2 defenders in the same machine will crate conflicts, not to mention redundant.
The list of AVs that will shut down Windows Defender :
Norton
McAfee
AVG
Microsoft Security Essentials.

If none of the above applies to you, have you tried this method to turn Windows Defender back on ?

Start > in the search box, type services> Enter > scroll to Windows Defender > click it > left column, click Start the service.
under Status column, it should say .............. Started
under Statup Type column, it should say....... Automatic
if not, right click at Windows defender > Properties ....
at Startup type, click the pointer and select Automatic
at Service status, click Start > click OK when done > exit Services window.
