Windows Defender "app not found" apears when I try to start

just uninstalled mcafee, trying to turn the Defender cannot

Hello

Make sure you have uninslatted all of McAfee, using their removal tool.

http://service.McAfee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?ID=TS101331

And what AV now have installed?

Defender is not an anti-virus, but only an Anti-Spyware program.

You need an anti-virus.

If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

There is nothing to worry.

Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

And for now, change startup programs in Windows 7 without using Defender, use one of these methods:

Or the program Autoruns for FREE:

  • Windows Defender does not work. When I try to turn it on, I get the message "not responding".

    Original title: Windows Defender

    I have Windows Vista and my Windows Defender will activate/doesn't not work.  When I try to turn it on, it responds by saying: 'it is not responding' and stops automatically.  I tried to re - install & who did not work.  Any ideas.

    Hi lskdjfoie,
     
    What have you tried to reinstall? Windows Defender or other programs?
     
    I suggest the following steps and check.
     
    Step 1:
     
    Usually if you have a third-party security software installed, Windows Defender would not work. I would temporarily disable all security software and check if the problem persists.
     

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
     
    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats.  In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
     
    Step 2:
     
    If this does not help, I would say you scan SFC on your computer and check if Windows Defender works fine.
     
    Step 3:
     
    If none of the steps helps create a new user account and check if the problem persists.

    a: Type Services.msc in the start search box and click on enter.
    b : now, look for a service called Windows Defender, double-click to open it.
    c: Now Start the service and make sure that it is set to automatic.

  • Windows Defender - Application not found (in Windows 7 professional OS)

    Hello

    I have a computer running on Windows 7 Professional on my place of work. However, Windows Defender does not seem to work properly because it cannot be opened when searched for in the START Menu and the Windows Defender icon is not correct (please refer to the screenshot below):

    Probably, I suppose that someone had deleted the Windows Defender software before I used the computer.

    I would like an active Windows Defender to protect your computer. If all goes well, it can be fixed or re-install the software on the computer.

    Please, can someone help me with the correct solution?

    Thanks in advance,

    Jenn

    By your screenshot, it seems you have installed MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials).  The first icon beside the ORB start.  If it is enabled, the Defender must be disabled.

    MSE is supposed to disable Defender when it is installed.  They should not be run at the same time.

    There are a few explanations here:

  • Unable to save file... "file name" as a file not found error when you try to save in Photoshop CC

    I am trying to create a new action in photoshop cc who takes a picture and replace the color and then saves it in a new file.  Once completed the action will convert the image in 21 files each a different color.  Ideally, I would like to save it as a jpg for each file and then the psd, but I got the error "file... cannot be saved to the file is not found" on the third file in.  I did some research and found that changing the psd to jpg could cause the problem, so I decided to create two different actions to achieve this.  In creating the action steps to create just the multi color of psd files, I got about 6 files in and got the same error.  After doing research a little more I found out that it might be my naming convention, so I've simplified that out of dashes, spaces, etc. and only could get 12 files in the next time, before I got the error.  So, I decided that I would split the colors in two series of different actions, but now I have this error each time even if just trying to apply to a single file and record do not.  Any idea on what's happened and how I can fix this problem?

    One recourse would be difficult to create for a bit as it for actions cannot use logic. It would be difficult for an action in the name of the output file.  However, an Action could use the name of the document as save 21 documents with the same document name in 21 different localities.

    You can also use a Script like image processor or one you can download Image Processor Pro as well as certain actions you create Doe you want. The script can do the thing in naming of file for you.

    You can also create a document with 21 colored layers and save out as a PSD file and the next action step could serves the layer export file script The Action may appoint the color channels as it creates, I'm not sure what the file names will be him are exported. I guess something like Doc Name the name of the layer. I have never use the script, I know right there for use.

    Edit that I just looked at the script it looks like you can not it batch because it has a dialog box and is not a Photoshop plug-in if recorded in batch Action script would be displayed the scripts dialog box and waiting for your interaction.

  • Windows 7: error 5 (access denied) when you try to start the Volume Shadow Copy (VSS) service

    System: Win 7 Ultimate x 64 on a HP Pavilion DV6. My account is the user account only suitable on the laptop and an administrator account.

    When you try to do a system restore, it came with an error that the Volume Shadow Copy Service did not work, even if this error code is not relevant for the purposes of this question later, I managed to run the system restore in SafeMode to an old restore point...

    When you try to turn on VSS, I checked services.msc (which I ran as administrator) and VSS was off and on the manual. I tried clicking on start, the following error message came:

    "Windows didn't start the Volume shadow copy on the Local computer service."
    Error 5: access is denied. »

    I then switched to automatic and tried again, same error. I tried since everything I can possibly think (including the definition of back and forth between manual & auto then trying the solutions below) to get the service starts, nothing helps. The solutions tried so far:

    -net start vss high cmd - returns the same error (error 5 access is denied)
    -high vssvc.exe cmd - same
    -changed the full control permissions for me, the group admin and NETWORK SERVICE (that I had to add) to the System32 folder and vssvc.exe but no change
    -changed the permissions to full control for myself, admin and NETWORK SERVICE group (who even once, I must add) for VSS in regedit (open as administrator) still nothing
    -even tried to restart explorer.exe a high cmd and a task manager high and again made the permissions - still nothing.

    The only thing I haven't done is run a sfc scan, but tbh, I doubt that will fix anything. It also seems that VSS has been turned off for a while, as my last restore point was about 3 months ago and I installed things since.

    Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated, because I'm going nuts with that now! Thank you!

    The Volume Shadow Copy Service must not be on auto-start.

    According to the site TechNet Microsoft VSS THAT was introduced with Windows XP SP1 and since that time it has always installed as manual start since he does not need to be started automatically and it works day and night to do nothing.  Some places say different times when VSS has been introduced, but be sure that it was a long time ago.

    A popular site to see how Windows Services should / could be put in place is here:

    http://www.blackviper.com/service-configurations/

    If you've read about VSS on Microsoft TechNet, it says:

    https://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh125927 (v = ws.10) .aspx

    So do you think the MS TechNet site is fake and that each installation of Windows since XP has a badly installed VSS Service?  If that were the case all Windows systems in the world would be in trouble.

    On an unafflicted system if you open the services applet and observe the VSS Service, it should look like this:

    So if you start a backup operation or even create a Restore Point, go back to the Service applet and press F5 to refresh you'll see that the VSS Service changed its status to start:

    Once the operation is complete the VSS Service will stop itself (it may take a while).

    That's how it is supposed to work.

    We should certainly be able to affect the automatic VSS Service and you should be able to start, but you shouldn't need to.  People who say that "solved their problem" forgets to mention the days/weeks to try things that lead to get their system of work.  There is no way of knowing which of the dozens of things that they could have tried really solved the problem.

    You say that the system restore worked in Mode safe (but not a normal startup) and if it is true that means usually something to load in a normal trunk causing a problem and that something is usually an antivirus/antimalware application that is 'protect' your system against the changes.  When you start mode safe these things are usually not loaded this is why sometimes your system restore mode without failure.

    Contributors known for these programs are Norton, McAfee, Avast, Avira, Kaspersky and probably others.

    So what antivirus/antimalware programs you are running and have checked their support pages for known problems with backup/restore system restore?

    Norton has even a page about these issues:

    https://support.Norton.com/SP/en/us/home/current/solutions/v51118464_EndUserProfile_en_us

    Even McAfee told their product to uninstall completely before doing a system restore:

    "Intel Security recommends that you remove McAfee security products before to proceed with an upgrade of the operating system or the Microsoft System Restore and then re-install your McAfee product when the update/restore is complete. "

    So I assumed that whatever your AV program happens to be could be part of the issue here - but we don't know what it is.

    We know error 5 is a permissions/access denied error type, but you shouldn't make adjustments to get VSS to start if something is wrong.  If as you have tried adjustments have been necessary every Windows system in the world should also make these adjustments and coming is not past.

    Of course, now, your system might be more affected since you've been changing permissions on the things trying to VSS to start when there is probably not a problem with VSS in the first place, so who knows what condition are in now.

    You could start by uninstalling what your AV software (most manufacturers have a special program for that) and by eliminating third-party applications that are known to interfere.  You can always reinstall them again later, no?
