Windows 7 64 Bit Security Center Service Can't Start
Apr 12, 2011
A flag is appearing in the bottom right corner on my laptop running windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit version. On opening the action center by clicking on flag the message appears "Windows Security Center Service (Important) - The windows Security Center service is turned off" Next to this message is a button "Turn on now". When I click on the button gets an error message "windows security service can't be started". no details. checked my laptop for any virus, torjan, malware etc. using 3 different tools: McAfee, Windows malicious software removal tool, Malwarebytes No virus or suspecious programs try to start the security services manually using services.
I Windows 7 Home Premium. My windows is getting the updates but when it says configuring windows it doesn't do it and says it failure to config and is reverting back.I also cannot turn on Windows Security Center.I appears something happened 8/15. I tried microsoft's fixes and system restore which hasn't fixed the problems.[CODE]
after i managed to remove a virus on my computer (system defender) i get this message to turn on the windows security center service, but when i try to do that i get the message "the windows security center service can't be started".. the security center properties is on automatic... but the message is still on.. i tried to do a system restore but it doesn't give me an option date before the virus attack. i have windows 7 home edition..
Yesterday I noticed the red flag stating that the Windows Security Services Center was off. When I tried ti turn it on I got an error message saying that it can't be started. I searched some posts that said to access the services.msc file but when I tried that I get another message saying that "One or more ActiveX controls could not be displayed because either..
I am running Win 7 on a Dell Inspiron 1525, and have noticed recently that the Security Center Service is not running, when I click the button to turn it on, I get a 'Cannot be started' message.
my windows security center will not work properly.then i followed the following steps. when i am open the service.msc then it shows your current security systems prohibit running active x control in this page or you have blocked a publisher of one of the controls. it causes my windows gadjet does not work properly and i can't restore my system to an earlier point.
I was trying to remove some malware "Win 7 Home Security 2011 - Unregistered Version" and I noticed that I cannot turn on Windows Security Center Service. When I click "Turn on Now" button I get an error box "The Windows Security Center service can't be started." I am running McAfee & Malwarebytes. When I execute "sc qc wscsvc" from the command prompt I get "The specified service does not exist as an installed service" .OpenService Failed 1060. Can I reinstall Windows Security Center?
How to turn on security center service for windows7 on my laptop I have tried running all the possible anti virus but still my problem is not getting fixed,
Windows Security Center will not start, regardless of whether I'm in my regular account, or admin. I have tried fixing it based off some info I "researched" on-line, but it claims that my user account isn't the same as others using the same process....All of the others I have looked at in Services all say "Network Service", just like I tried setting the WSC to.
I can't get get my Security Center, OR my firewall to work correctly. When I attempt to turn my firewall on, it just quits responding. When I go into my services.msc to see if any of them are there.
Got a Dell laptop with Wn7 premium and I noticed windows update was not up to date. Checked manually and it said Windows security center is not turned on, tried to turn it on and all I got was it won't start.
I checked and I uninstalled a Norton AV that was a come with, I rebooted and I still have same issue. I havent been able to keep Win 7 updated. I am using McAfee for AV, it seems to be working fine.
I got a virus (winupgro.exe). Afterwards, that program showed up in my task manager, but I was unable to end the process. I also got a notification that I would need to restart my computer in order to turn off UAC. Since I did not want to turn off UAC, I went back in, and turned the UAC back on. I then ran a virus scan with Norton. It didnt seem to find my virus, so I just shut down the computer.Winupgro.exe no longer shows up in task manager, but I cannot turn on Windows Security Center - getting the dialog box "The Windows Security Center service can't be started".Malwarebytes was able to find and remove it, but I still cannot open windows security center (after a restart).I used FreeCommander to run create md5 checksums. After searching the output file, I did not find any references to winupgro or its checksum string.
im running windows 7 64bit. i cant get it started. its not under services. or in the control panel. i did a full anti virus scan. and a malware scan. PC is clean. i went in the action center. and tried to turn it on but i get this popup
friend had one of the 2011 viri variants that i removed with rkill/malwarebytes BUT afterwards he kept getting a security center warning that automatic updates was turned off:if i try to turn it on i get an error saying it cant be done [URL]...
I have a Dell XPS M1730 with Windows 7 Ultimate and it was doing an iTunes update and the lid got closed during the update process. Now when I start the computer up it says "the user profile service service failed the login, user profile cannot be loaded". The computer starts up in safe mode and won't let me do a system restore because it says it is shut off.When I look at User Profiles in Windows 7, it states that the users profile is as backup and the default profile is the local profile. How can I fix my computer to get my user profile back up and working?
I did a normal registry scan and there were some errors and I clicked to fix them. Now Action Center doesn't show in the task bar...So I search for it and click on it and it tells me that Windows Security Center service is turned off...I click on the button to turn it on and it tell me that it cannot start...I've been searching online for a solution to my problem and I have seen other posts about people having a similar problem...Going to services doesn't work for me...I'm assuming that since Winutilities removes random HKEYs, that might be my problem...Now, how do i get these HKEYS back?
Recently I got a Antivirus Antispyware virus on my computer, I ran Rkill and then Malwarebytes and it found the virus and I removed it. However now my Windows 7 Security Center firewall and my McAfee firewall will not turn on. With my Windows 7 Security center, when I try and turn it on it prompts me with a message that says 'Action center cannot turn firewall on, turn windows firewall on manually' so I click on that and I click the recommended settings and it gives me a message saying 'Windows firewall can't change some of your settings. Error code 0x80070422'. My McAfee fire wall will turn on for a second and then automatically turn off. I have tried many things and seeked for many solutions but so far none of them have worked.
I am trying to get my XBox 360 to find my PC, or get my Windows Media Center PC to find my 360 as an extender.
For some reason every time Media Center searches(put in the 8 digit code on the PC) I get:
"Media Center Extender Setup failed as the Extender was detected on the network but the UPnP search for the Extender failed (timed out after 20000ms)."
in the event log.
It shuts off my "Media Player Extender" service(stops it and changes it to "disabled"), and unchecks the Windows Firewall box allowing Media Center Extenders through my home network.
I've tried disabling my router's firewall (Linksys WRT54GS) and Windows Firewall, then restarting the Media Center Service and still get the same message and results.
I've enabled uPnP, and disabled "filter multicast". I've tried messing with the Xbox's IP settings, but that wouldn't cause my PC to shut off the services.
I've done just about everything I can find on the internet to fix it and nothing has worked so far, have only seen a couple of threads talking about the service shutting off by itself.
I'm about to the point where I'm going to re-install Windows 7, but I haven't had it for very long at all so I doubt a "fresh" copy will make any difference. Read more at the forums...
will I loss some functionality if I disable this service? I'm using 3rd party firewall and MSE as AV so I don't care too much about builtin firewall and DAP. I need however to connect another computer at home via ethernet cable. If I turn this off, stops something to work?
I just installed Windows 7 over my VISTA OS on my new Toshiba Notebook. Since I have only 3 GB of RAM I installed the 32 Bit Version of Windows 7...
VERY DISAPPOINTED immediately as I encountered 2 issues
1. McAfee Security Center is alerting me that software is Not Compatible....
2. Internet Explorer barely runs... and when I exit IE, there is no less than 30 second delay before the window closes... even if I have just opened IE and immediately close (meaning nothing has cached to be cleared)..
I downloaded Superantispyware.com on my netbook with Windows 7 starter.The security center notes that windows defender real time is turned off which is correct.There is a button to scan for other antivirus programs. However, windows 7 will not recognize my antivirus software. How do I correct this?
I get a red flag from the little ACTION CENTER icon at bottom once a week saying that my anti-virus, firewall, anti spyware is off. But my Norton 360 isn't off, just the ACTION CENTER on the Control Center SECURITY SETTINGS shows OFF.I have to turn my 360 off and on to reset it.Never happened before.
