    This problem may occur if the Security Center service is not configured to run under the Local Service account, but the dependent services are configured to run under the Local Service account.

    Note: The following can be used for Windows Vista and Windows 7.

    b. double-click Security Center, click on tab log .

    c. Select "this account" click on the Browse button, type Local Service and click ok.

  • Windows Security Center cannot be started

    What antivirus program you have installed? Many antivirus programs and security have their own version of a "Security Center" that take for the one integrated in Vista/XP. If this is your case, then the behavior you're seeing is by design.

    If this is not the case, your computer is probably infected.

    There is no way for us to know who it is from what you wrote, please supply, the lack of details to get more help.

    The first Question of troubleshooting: what has changed between the time where things worked and the time, they did not?

    The second issue of Windows troubleshooting: what is the status of virus/malware of the machine? If you think it's clean, what programs (and versions) allows you to determine this?

    Make sure that the computer is clean:

    There is a red X on the icon of flag in the bottom right of my screen. When I click on it to start the WSC service I get a Message that says: "cannot start service of Windows Security Center." There is no error number.

    I can go and change Autostart Settings, and will work for a few seconds. The WSC turns on and then a few seconds later, it will turn, the settings go back to 'off '.

    Hello WK99,

    1. you have any software from third-party security installed on your computer?

    If you have security software installed on your computer, I suggest you uninstall and reinstall the security software.

    If still does not work, run a file system on your computer check tool. You can read the article which will give you information on how to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    This can also be caused by an infection of malicious software on your computer. I suggest that you run a Malware scan on your computer and check if you have the same problem. You can follow the link below and run Windows Onecare scan online.

  • Windows Security Service cannot be started, how to fix this?

    Hello
    I use Windows 7 Home Premium. Window Defender won't start. When I click on it in the Panel, he says "this program is disabled." There is a link that says: "If you do not use this program, click here to turn on. When I click on this link I get the message "the dose of specified service does not exist as an installed service (error code: 0 x 80070424)". " When I go to the Panel and the Panel of Services, the program is not listed. So I downloaded the program and tried to install it. He would not have installed. I get an error that says it is part of Windows Vista and requires no installation. It's strange to me that I am running windows 7.
    I then in the center of the Action. There, I found the Windows Security Center Service is disabled. There is a button to turn it on. Thought that would solve my problem I clicked it, only to get the message, "The Windows Security Center Service Can not be started."
    I ran the program Microsoft Fix It. There is no problem. The program is not there or if it is I don't think that and it want let me install it.
    Can you please tell me how to get Windows operational defender and how to get started (running) Windows Service Security Center.
    Thank you... David Sam
