Hi Epirner,

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community Forums.

From your post it seems that you are facing problems with Windows Mobility Center and you want to disable.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

You can check the question in a clean boot State.

    Hi Tedwards78,

    Windows updates are important for your safety and reliability of computers. Microsoft does not recommend disabling updates.

    You can hide some updates which you don't want to install but, disable windows update is not wise.

    These links could be useful.

    Activate the update or disable automatic

  • Disable Windows Defender

    I'm having the problem of Windows/McAfee.  If I disable Windows Defender, how can I go about deleting items in the start menu?
    Appreciate the help.

    Hi BurrowD,

    Thank you for using answers Forum.

    Are what McAfee/Windows problem you referring?

    You can prevent some programs from startup to startup Vista by checking to see if there is a shortcut in the startup folder by clicking Start > all programs > startup. You can safely delete or move icons on the desktop to run when you want.

    You can prevent some positions loading using MSConfig, this is however not the recommended procedure.
    You can click on start and type msconfig in the search field and click on the entry that appears near the top.
    Then click on the Startup tab.

    I hope this helps.

    The short answer is no other post recommend that you ask the laptop on your insurance. It of a good idea to install prey or other protection software against theft on portable computers that will allow you to lock the remote computer and follow where it was stolen. However, even these measures will not help if the thief erases the hard drive and re - install Windows.

It is causing a lot of unnecessary network traffic. I can't disable Windows to display information in the folder Option, but it still scans in the background.

    Here is an example:
    Folder1 has three subfolders, each containing three subfolders. When I hover over Folder1, it scans everything what it, same thing when I click in the folder, it scans everything, in all of the subfolders, files.

  • Microsoft Security Essentials disables Windows Defender in Vista?

    Can error 0x800106ba on any attempt to open code I Defender. I also acquired McAfee at some point, but I uninstalled it hundreds of years ago but I still have the same error message whenever I try to open Windows Defender. Help, please

    It is not fair to McAfee posing problem with the Defender:

    Windows Defender:

    If you have Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, McAfee, Norton, etc. installed, they have a conflict with Windows Defender, or turn it off.

    Microsoft Security Essentials has its own integrated version of the defender and should automatically disable the version of Vista in Windows Defender.

    If it's not:

    Turn Windows Defender on or off the information on the link above of Microsoft.

    Hope the above explains the common compatibility issues with Windows Defender and other security programs.

    Hello, just to be sure I have the correct information, Windows Defender lights not in Windows Vista with Microsoft Security Essentials, as Essentials has its own version of the Defender.  The error code I received is the same as the previous posts in which is: 0x800106ba.  Again, just to be sure, I understand, I should stop trying to turn Defender because Security Essentials has covered it, okay?

    Hello

    Yes; Microsoft Security Essentials should disable Windows Defender for the reasons you mentioned.

    If she didn't turn it off, you should manually have to do it anyway.

    This information explains Microsoft explained:

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/protect/Forum/MSE-protect_start/Windows-Defender-and-Microsoft-Security-Essentials/5309cb8d-02e1-40E8-974f-0dcedb9ab9fd

    Q: is - this installation of Microsoft Security Essentials (XP/Vista/7) disable Windows Defender?
    A:     Microsoft Security Essentials should disable Windows Defender in Vista and Windows 7, and then uninstall it from XP. In some cases, this does not happen automatically.
     

    Q: what happens if I do not disable or uninstall Windows Defender, if I use Microsoft Security Essentials (XP/Vista/7)?
    A: If Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows Defender are both running, your system can know the performance degradation and other problems caused by the conflict of two services providing real-time protection at the same time.

    Hello

    I want to disable Windows Defender (WD), so it is not incompatible with my Internet security software. I disabled WD "msconfig.exe" and "services".
