Cannot depend on Security Center "the Security Center cannot start."

I'm afraid that my computer may not be protected because I cannot depend on SecurityCenter, would appreciate any advice, thank you very much.

Original title: when I try to activate the Security Center, I receive a message saying "failed to start Security Center" can someone tell me why?

Hi Bluehound,

  • Since when are you facing this problem?
  • You did changes to the computer before this problem started?
  • You have a third-party security software installed on the computer

Step 1

First of all, check if the Security Center service is set to automatic and started. To do this follow the steps below:

a. Click Start.

b in the start search box type services.msc and press to enter.

(c) in the services window, do scroll down to Security Center.

d. right-click on it and click Properties.

e. check if the startup type is set to automatic, otherwise it is set to automatic.

f. click on the Start button, this will start the Security Center service.

g. click on apply and Ok.

Check if you can enable the Security Center.

Step 2

If the problem persists, you can also try to temporarily disable third-party security software on the computer and try to check if you can enable the Security Center. If you are able to start, you can contact the manufacturer of security software and check if you need to change the settings. Later, re-enable the security software.

I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

Thank you and best regards,

    I have problems to make internet TV, news and Netflix to connect to the internet when you use Windows Media Center.  They are all under the TV + movies option during the WMC.  I get an error saying [invalid Application - cannot start "" ""].  Not sure if this is because the internet connection that I use is not one that has a user name or password.  Not know how to configure it for this version of Windows.  I don't get this problem when you use Windows Media Center in Windows 7.

  • Win 7 Media center must rebuild the library whenever he starts.

    I have a frustrating problem with Media Center in Windows 7.  He is a dedicated Media PC that is used primarily for music.  Whenever I have run media center and select the music option, remember all the information of the library for each category.  Since it loads in album it takes 5 to 10 min. to get information (albums, works of art, etc.). Then when I go to the Genre, he goes through the same process.  This is repeated whenever I select a new category.

    As long as the PC is on and information process was done once for each category, it works better.  Once the PC is turned off and restarted it must go through this process again.

    I used Media Center in XP for years and once he has sought and collected built the library is easy to use.  When the PC is started again click MC select music and all loads of information in a few seconds.  It seems that MC in win 7 is a step backward, unless there is something I am doing wrong.

    I downloaded the drivers for my sound card. display and motherboard.  All files are stored on the PC.  I had the problem on three separate PCs.  Although two of them, I went back to XP.  Before going back on the third, I want to see if there is something I can do wrong.

    I suggest that you try to reset the media library of WMP. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

    -Restart the PC.
    -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
    -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
    -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
    -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists. Tim Baets

  • Security for the family (Windows 8) started blocking * some * 2013 Office apps (Word, PowerPoint)... but he used to work.

    I'm having this same problem, and would be grateful for the help.

    I have a laptop Windows 8 with 2013 Office installed. I put no administrator accounts for all members of the family except me and turned on Family Safety, blocking all applications except those approved by me. It was all working well for about a year, until very recently (maybe 2 months ago).

    One day, the wife and children reported Family Safety started MS Word it blocks all their user (non-administrator) accounts. And this will happen * after * the application was already started for a minute or two! (I don't know what has changed, or if there was a Windows update that has just occurred, etc.). Word would be arrested, and invite him to the dialog box asking permission ("my mother is here... ") appeared. Enter the correct credentials admin does not help, and Word does not start with the subsequent launches. I repeat the question now.

    Other comments/symptoms:

    -Word and PowerPoint are blocked, but Excel has worked well.
    -All 2013 office applications work fine on the admin account.
    -Parental control settings are correct (I quintuple checked now).
    -Disable the parental control completely to any non-administrator user account allows applications Office work very well on this account.
    -Create a new user account not administrator for... This test also the same problem.
    -In the course of running Windows Update (to date) and reboot... no change.
    -Don't search other discussions of the forum... no joy or solutions:

    Help! Word is the program children use more and disabling all parental control so they can use it is really back & broken.

    Thanks in advance

    I still have the same problem as John.  I tried all the remedies, including this Court, but nothing seems to work.   Family Safety blocks even MS Word.

    Hey Wolfe Pack.

    I have not tried the suggestion of Winston to remove all files for the parental control settings again. Did you?

    In short, this is what I tried in the place, which seems to have helped:

    In the admin account, I opened the dialog box to manage parental controls for a child's account settings. Then clicking on the link to the installer apps are allowed. I chose "X can only use apps that I leave" and then at the bottom right you click the box 'disable all' to deselect all applications.

    I have logged on to the child's account, then launched the word and allowed him ("my mother is here... ") before any other apps or background allowing deals who wanted permission to run. Launched Word then OK. Then, in various other applications were to be used and popped up, I allowed, too. It's annoying because it meant a lot of Bing and type the admin password for everything that I wanted to use or that runs in the background, but seems not have allowed Word to run again.

    This could end up being identical to what Winston has proposed (by deleting all files, effectively erasing all parameters). I'll see how it goes. Let us know if you try it.

    Hello

    1 how long have you been faced with this problem?
    2. don't you make changes on the computer before this problem?
    3. What is the brand and model of the computer?
    4. who help and support files are you referring to?
    5. what exactly happens when you try to open it? You get the error message?

    cssauth.exe is related to the Client Security Solution.

    Step 1: Try disabling startup cssauth.exe in the configuration of the system.

    Here's how:

    1. click on start > run.
    2. type msconfig and press ENTER.
    3. click on the Startup tab.
    4 locate cssauth.exe, and clear the check box for this.
    5 restart the computer and check for the issue.

    Step 2: If you still get the same error at startup then perform the clean boot on the computer.

    From your computer by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine if a background program is interfering with your game or program. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot".

    Reference:

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    1. click on start and then click Run.
    2. type msconfig and click OK.

    The System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

    3. click on the tab general, click Normal Startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.
    4. When prompted, click on restart to restart the computer.

    A friend gave me your laptop to watch - there edition family vista (64 bit (I think) on it and when you try to run Explorer he says it does not find or access is denied and something about 16 bit / 64 bit (it has been a few days and I'm not memory clearly until what I try again tonight)

    "\?? \C:\Windows\Explorer.exe"cannot start or run due to incompatibility with the 64 bit version of windows"

    If you try to run a dll / Panel or anything like that, you will get an error message saying that it cannot run some 16-bit process or access denied.

    So now I'm pretty stuck. I'm SURE I've seen this problem before with reference to 16-bit etc error messages, but in home edition I do not have the MMC users & groups (had to make new user with password renew then that starts in another environment) or the Security tab of the properties of file/folder for permissions NTFS etc (had to use icacls).

    The second option is often necessary because you don't always get a specific file mentioned in the error.
