Windows Defender goes off on its own constantly

I still find Windows defender disabled. Whenever I open it, I get a window saqying it's off. Any ideas? Shouldn't it always be running?

Hello

Are you running MSE or other antivirus/security programs stop Windows Defender running?
Whether Windows Defender is blocked from running by them. McAfee, AVG and many others to do this.
MSE includes features of Windows Defender inside run that separately it would be redundant.

    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 Media Center starts on its own...

    I am running Vista 64 bit. and from these time, for some reason my media center to windows just starts up on its own with attention now. I checked the settings in the media center and its not programmed to automatically start from what I've seen. It starts when I open other programs, and when I close them. not all the time and not in any decernable model. What should I do?

    Hello James_CC,

    You can try and allows for stop in the MSConfig Startup tab:

    First, go to control panel, then AutoPlay. Then check the selections of videos, films, etc. and select not "Act".
    Try again and see if Windows Media Center always plays at startup.

    Then, you can stop Windows Media Center to start services.
    Type msconfig (System Configuration) and go to the Startup tab uncheck the Scriptures which has the ehome as path to the command, such as ehTray.exe. This will prevent MCE related services to start upward.

    I would also check the default associations:
    Open the control panel (all items view) and click the default programs.

    Click on the game to link your default programs.
    In the left column, select the program (highlighted) a list that you want to change the associations is default for file.
    To set all Assciations by default in the Program-
    NOTE: This will allow to associate the selected program by default used by Windows 7 to open all types of files and protocols it can open.
    Click set this program as default.
    Click Save to apply.
    Click OK.

  • Windows has a mind of its own?

    A few weeks before that I demoted Win.8.1 of Win8. I can't support either.

    Tonight, I get a message that my computer needs to reboot for Win.8.1 can complete loading.

    I never said I wanted to move to 8.1. Windows has a mind of its own

    and upgrades to the next version without worrying about whether you want it or not?

    Well, I guess I'm stuck with 8.1.

    This happened to someone else?
    Bob

    It apparently * a * is happened to others, even though I have yet to see it happen first-hand (or with anyone I help/manage personally who chose to not move to 8.1 for a reason any.)

    If most of the 8/8.1 aversion is the interface - 8.1 is the best choice because it gives more options to customize without know entirely too much about the inner workings.

    If you don't mind a suggestion - check out the first post in this discussion to see if some of the suggested changes would help you with your discomfort with Windows 8.1 or not...

  • If I have my laptop, is why Windows Defender turned off because of group policy?... What is group policy?

    At the heart of the problem is this business of permissions.  Why solo owners of laptops not affiliated with companies or other computers must be prey to group policy and permissions at every turn.  I tried to turn off the UAC and I couldn't find even a file for group policy, and again I am forbidden to use Windows Defender because of this error message.  Only recently have I won control of most of my files and folders by disabling UAC and passing by claiming ownership of my own software and files.  I guess I really two questions: (1) how can I get rid of this feature to administer unnecessary and, as in the good old days, before Vista came, just use my computer without messages such as "you don't have permission to use this...» "and (2) my second question which dovetailed in the the first is" why the hell did I this stupid message from group policy?  There is no groups affiliated with my Compaq Presario, and in fact, it is not a group on my system folder in the first Subscriber.  I'm not very impressed with Vista or Windows Defender.  I could even ignore these problems, but there is a principle here.  I've read enough Articles to understand that I'm not the only person facing this nonsense!

    You cannot change how permissions work under Vista.  The administrator has certain rights and access; However, even for administrators, several parts of the system do not have access (because they are points of junction to towards the rear compatabiility and must not be changed or your programs do not work or because they are system files, you do not make changes.)  Despite this, some of these areas can still be accessed at your own risk - you may do something that can repair only a clean install), I provided the following information about permissions and ownership (which can help you navigate the system correctly and without causing any damage).

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    =======================================================================================================================

    Regarding Windows Defender the most likely reason it is disabled because you have installed an AV or security suite program that does so automatically during its installation (and it was probably necessary for the new software works correctly without causing any problem).  What AV or Security Suite program do you use?

    Regarding group policy, if you wanted to access it go to start / search box and type gpedit.msc and enter and then double-click on the program that appears in the search results.  These AV programs and security can use Group Policy to disable Windows Defender (I don't know how they do it), but it may be there somewhere).  Because re-activate NOT Windows Defender while the other this software is still installed on your system that could cause some conflixts, freezes, crrashes, corrupt and data files and all kinds other problems - it has been disabled for some reason.

    If you want to use Windows Defender, then choose a program or AV security suite which does not disable the Defender during the installation.

    Hi Ashutosh,

    You have a third-party antivirus installed on the computer program?

    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 it automatically disables the version of Windows Vista defender.

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

  • Why my Windows Defender displays off when I turned on?

    Why did my show as windows Defender off I turn?

    What other security programs you have running? Many as MSE, Norton, McAfee, AVG, etc., will stop Windows Defender because they have the same functionality, and having two programs running at the same time and make security the same work can lead to conflicts. This is by design and must be accepted by the user.
