Impossible to activate the Security Center

as the title suggests, it just won't let me.

a new window appears indicating that cannot start the scurity Center service

Hello

Some antivirus/security products may cause this error. McAfee, Norton, Windows Live OneCare.
ThreatFire are some. What antivirus/antispyware/security products you have on machine now. And
who have you ever on it, even if you have uninstalled them. (They leave leftovers that cause
strange questions.) Therefore a number in your case.

Check the default services and dependencies to ensure that they are running.

  • Impossible to activate the secure connection

    I have a fresh install of Vista Business (32) preloaded on my new laptop Acer TM 5530.

    I read help for 'Enable or disable a secure connection (CTRL + ALT + DELETE)', which says:

    1. Click to open advanced user accounts. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    2. Click the Advanced tab, select users must press Ctrl + Alt + Delete check box, and then click OK.

    I'm in the built-in administrator ID.

    I followed the instructions, but "Ask users to press Ctrl + Alt + Delete" is gray on the Ant, the checkbox is not accessible.

    What should I do?

    Hello SHCA,.

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers forum.  This happens usually when your account does not have a password.  To create a password to do the following:

    1.

    Open accounts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking user accounts and family safety, and then clicking user accounts.

    2.

    Click create a password for your account.

    Note If your user account already has a password, you can change your password by clicking change your password.

    3.

    Type the password in the new password box, and then retype the password in the new password confirmation box.

    4.

    If you do not use a password hint, type the suspicion in the box of the indication of password .

    5.

    Click create password.

    It is important to keep your computer as secure as possible. One way to do is to allow a secure connection so that you are required to press CTRL + ALT + DELETE to log on. Using a secure connection provides an extra layer of security for your computer by ensuring that the authentic Windows logon screen appears. When a secure connection is enabled, no other programs (for example, a virus or a spyware) can intercept your user name and password when you enter it.

    Click the Start button, type netplwiz in the search box and press ENTER.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  • 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,

    Start by downloading the full package of driver from here: HP Officejet full feature and driver software

    If you have recently downloaded this driver package, you may be able to skip this step. If you have problems with the steps below and impossible to find a directory, you must re-download the driver pack and launch the exe.

    1. disconnect the USB from the computer printer.

    2. now, go to start > run > and type folder

    3. search for any record label hp_web_release or 7z

    4 inside of this folder, navigate to the 'util' directory > directory 'ccc '.

    5. in there, run Uninstaller_L1 through L4 in order.

    6. check Add/Remove programs in the control panel for additional HP programs that have not been deleted and delete.

    7 remove the HP or Hewlett-Packard directory in Program Files.

    8 Goto Program Files > common files and remove the HP or Hewlett-Packard directory there as well.

    9. Select start > run and type "temp". inside this folder, delete all the files.

    10. Select start > run and type "%temp%". inside this folder, delete all the files.

    11. now restart and reinstall the driver using the driver from the web.

    Let me know if that solves the problem.

    Thank you!

  • How to get the Security Center to turn on MY

    MY is all green with a check mark (icon on bottom RHS of the screen.  However, the Security Center said no active antivirus.  Please tell me (in simple terms - I'm not a computer Wizard) how to get the SC to activate MY.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Sometimes, it is a bug that occurs, especially after installing MSE for the first time. Restart the computer and see if the Security Center successfully, then reports that you are protected by an antivirus.

    If restarting the computer does not resolve it, try the following fix - http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c0ca9eb2-14b0-4591-be85-4b7fd1700191/windows-security-center-wmi-fix-onecare-green-security-center-at-risk

    Hello.

    I have Vista Home premium SP2, 32-bit operating system. A week ago, I received a .rar file, Avira has said has been infected. I did not open the file, I deleted, ran a complete analysis of the system and assured there was no residue.

    (a) it seems that my firewall has disappeared, and specifc messages I get when trying to turn on my firewall is: "could not start the Security Center service. When I run services.msc, I am not at all a security service, all I have is a security accounts manager.
    (b) when I try to activate Defender, I get the error code 0 x 80070424. «Windows Defender encountered an error: 0 x 80070424.» The specified service does not exist as an installed service. »

    I tried 5 different Microsoft its difficulty, but none have worked so far. I also tried to reinstall Windows Defender, but Microsoft said that I installed it. All updates are underway. I followed the steps in this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968002 and no. chance either. I used additional resources and tried following these steps also, but all services have already started on my system.
