On-access scanning disabled itself, will not allow me to turn it back on; on-demand scan not working

Hello and thank you in advance to anyone who can help me.  I have two issues:

(1) On-access scanning turned itself off and I am not able to turn it back on.  When I clicked on the button next to "the on-access scanner is off", it just says "Start scanning" and is greyed.

(2) When I try to do an on-demand scan, it scans for less than a second and stops.  Message says no threats but "issues detected".

Here is a log I came across if this helps:
