Cannot open the Windows Security Center, nor what I can turn Windows Defender

Whenever I try to open the Windows Security Center, I always get the same error message "The Security Center Service does not start. Evreytime I try to activate Windows Defender, I get the error "Defander Windows is disabled by group policy"

I've tried everything I can think of and nothing works. ALSO when I try to delete a file of 50% of the time that I get the message that it requires an Administrative authorization, so I click and give permision, drunk, then when I try again to delete the file, I get the same message, that it requires an administrative authorization.

He this maybe an a glich error, or is it because my computer is a HP Compaq and ALL settings constantly kkeps change on me no matter what I do.

I am running WIndows Vista Home Premium

Hello

You should try the following steps:

  • Manually start the Security Center Service

Click Start, click Run, type "services.msc". Scroll down and double-click Security Center. Set starts off in automatic. Click on 'start. Restart your computer and check if it is running.

  • Manually launch the .exe

Right click and "run as Administrator" on C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MSASCui.exe

  • Registry

Look for the value DisableAntiSpyware at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows Defender and delete who appreciate, but make a backup first.

  • Make sure you have a file named "wscui.cpl" in the Windows\system32 folder. If so, try to start, if not, you can copy it from another PC.

Perhaps all this steps work for you.

  • Cannot open the windows, want to do a clean reinstall of Vista.

    Drive a Dell Inspiron 530 s, silver, low mileage (2.5 years)

    BACKGROUND

    After making a few updates (iTunes, Java, Windows security), the entire system went down.

    You try to re - start I couldn't open the windows. Repair of the system would not turn on, and I kept circling of "a problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    Any suggestions on my screen in question this system repair or - of course - the system restore. Which is nice, if you can get Windows to open, but...

    The instructions for starting a "CD or DVD" switch and put with the disk (provided by Dell with computer) were not working. Well, he tried to work, but turned around again to "a problem has detected...". »

    MEASURES TAKEN

    She drew out to the Geek Squad. Said diagnosis all the hardware is dandy, it's a software problem.

    I brought her home today and now I want to do a clean install of Vista. (Makes one of the Windows platform, less than a year, no problem.)

    SO FAR, I HAVE...

    Tried to boot Windows from the disc. Nope

    Looked all over Kingdom come to get instructions on what to do next.

    I have my files on a portable hard drive, which is not a problem.

    There must be a way forward here - can't be that hard, right? But I don't find it.

    And Yes, I think to Exchange Vista for Windows 7 soon, but would like to make on this machine, because he got a big enough hard and plenty of RAM to my needs for a few more years.

  • my email is open, but no window shows? I get the email but cannot open the window to see?

    My mail app is open. I get an email, but I can't open the window to see. I restarted my computer and right clicking on the icon to open a new window. What can I do to get the window to open it? I can see my mail on other devices or online.

    Please stop Mail. Force quit if necessary.

    Back up all data before proceeding.

    If you use OS X 10.11 ("El Capitan") or version later, triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

    ~/Library/Mail/V3/MailData

    If you use an older version of Mac OS X, use this line:

    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData

    Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to folder

    in the menu bar. Paste in the box that opens by pressing Command + V, then press return.

    A file window opens. In it he must be files with names as follows:

    Index of the envelope

    ExternalUpdates.storedata

    Move these files to the desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder can have names more long that begin as above. Move these files, if any, in the trash.

    Mail recovery. It should invite you to re - import your messages. You can get a warning that the index is corrupted and that Mail must quit smoking. Click OK. Generally speaking, the process takes a few minutes, but this can take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In this case, you will be able to speed things up temporarily by adding your file to the list of personal information protection in the Spotlight preferences pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.

    If the import operation stalls or fails with an error message, quit Mail, delete the two new index files (maintenance of the original that you moved to the desktop) and try again. According to several reports, the second attempt can succeed if one does not.

    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files that you moved to the desktop. If not, post your results.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

    Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
