  • Try opening Windows Defender me gives error code: 0x800106ba - a problem caused this program service stop. Help, please.

    Hi all

    I am a newbie with doozy a bit of a problem:

    Services of Windows Defender on my local computer no longer works.  The message I get is:

    «Windows Defender encountered an error: 0x800106ba.» A problem caused this program service stop.  To start the service, restart your computer or search help and Support to find out how to start a service manually. »

    I restarted my computer nothing works.

    I followed the advice from another thread in the following way: go to the control panel > click on Administrative Tools > Services > Windows Defender properties > change initially > press on apply.  It seemed that he would work until the following message appeared:

    "The Windows Defender service on Local computer started and then stopped.  Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs. »

    Any help, help, clarity on this issue...?

    Thank you very much! :]

    This problem can occur because another security application is used or the Windows Defender service has stopped, or components of Windows Defender are corrupt.

    You install any new programs recently? Windows Defender is not designed to protect against the extent of malware. If programs like Microsoft Security Essentials or AVG 9 and Windows Defender both run, your system may experience degradation in performance and other problems caused by the conflict of two services providing real-time protection at the same time. I recommend that you keep the Defender off if another application of security protection is running. These security software stop windows Defender work properly in order to prevent conflicts.

    If no similar security application is installed, I suggest that we have follow these steps to resolve the problem:

    Step 1: Check the Windows Defender service
    =================================
    1. click on start, in the search box, type: "services.msc" (without the quotes) and press ENTER. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. double-click on the service "Windows Defender".
    3. click on the 'general' tab. Make sure the "Startup Type" is "automatic". Click on apply. Then please click on "Start" under "Status of Service" to start the service.

    If the problem is not resolved, please refer to step 2:

    Step 2: Save the associated DLL files
    ========================
    1. click on start, type "cmd" (without the quotes) in the box start the search. Right click on CMD listed above and click 'run as administrator '.

    2. in the command prompt, type the following and press ENTER to each order:

    regsvr32 atl.dll

    regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\wuapi.dll
    regsvr32 softpub.dll
    regsvr32 mssip32.dll

    3. close the command prompt, and then run Windows Defender.

    You are running Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, Norton or McAfee? If you run one of those, she didn't have Defender. It's good, not bad. Not only is there potential conflict, but there is no reason to have both; basically to have something very similar to the built-in Defender, and both running at a time will be your performance level and create the risk of problems that are contrary to the other.

  • "windows defender encountered an error: 0 x 80070424.

    "Windows defender encountered an error: 0 x 80070424.

    How can I solve this problem?

    Thank you!

    I don't see how MSE/Defender might logically have caused a problem with the firewall, but let's try this... we know all two computers (and computer users) sometimes do strange things.

    Make sure Windows Defender is disabled: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Turn-Windows-Defender-on-or-off

    Uninstall the MSE of control panel and if necessary, use this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2483120 to include running the Fix it Tool if you need to.

    Restart the computer.

    Then reinstall MSE using an installation file fresh from here.  During the installation you expected to have the opportunity to market the Windows FW.   Give it a try.

    If this does not work, you may need to try the MS Support.

    Good luck...
