Problem with Windows Defender Service

After restarting my computer running windows 10 build 10041 I got the following message trying to start the service:
The Windows Defender Service service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs. 
I have Avira AV program installed but Iit's been installed for a while although the above message came for the first time. Any idea?
Thanks

To
markgoldin and
philgman,
Uninstall your 3rd party anti-virus programs. Make sure no "left-overs" of the AV program remain, Then try to enable Windows Defender.
No too long ago, I was involved in a similar question. The OP had Norton installed. He said that Norton and Windows Defender were working fine in the older builds but not on build 10041.
I asked him to uninstall Norton.
Eventually he did using the Norton Removal Tool to remove everything related to Norton. Then he, after a few tries, managed to enable Windows Defender.
Open the link below and read what had been said in that thread. Hope it will help you.

    Defender on Windows 8 - Introduction and Frequently Asked Questions
    After having a through review of above wiki, if everything is in order yet you cant use defender 
    You may consider reset of windows
    There is no way to install/reinstall Defender in windows 8.1. and also Sfc/scannow is less efficient in such event..  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-pc
    Most of the time reset may do the job. 
    If problem persists, I would recommend you to get assistance from windows defender consumer forum http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/forum/protect_defender?tab=Threads

  • Multicast stream problem with windows media service

    Hi,
    I'm on a simple LAN composed by cisco 3560G and 3750G switches. On one of my switches, i've connected a windows media server that stream tv in unicast and multicast mode.
    When i run the http://myserver/mystream.nsc generated by the server on the current server, it's working, i can see my stream. The problem is in the stations, i'm unable to see it.
    I've activated IGMP Snooping on each switchs.
    Here is the log of debug ip igmp snooping on the switch where the server is connected :

    As WMP is not a DVD player, my suggestion would be to tell your clients to never use WMP.All our DVD discs go out with a warning not to allow WMP to be used.
    In most computer setups, WMP does not play back video correctly as it does not have an MPEG codec installed, or has navigational problems.
    All computers that have a DVD drive fitted, will have a dedicated DVD software player installed, such as Win DVD or Power DVD, so why not use that?

  • Problems with Windows VISTA and WPA-2

    Hi Guys,
    I am using a Linksys router supporting draft-N; it seems that after some time of usage; Windows Vista stop being able to connect to Linksys using a WPA-2 PSK.
    Everytime you search for the SSID and attempt to connect, the ''network is taking too long to connect''' and Windows always informs the user that ''limited or no connectivity'' even though the signal strength is excellent.
    Is that a common problem in Windows Visa (I am using Home Edition)?

    Yes thats the basica command problem with Windows Vista while connecting to the Wireless Network.... In this you can need to update your Windows Vista OS with all the Latest Patches and the Service Pack to improve more stability on your Vista Computer to get connected to the Wireless Network..

  • Problems with Windows 7 home premium and ovi

    Excuse me for my english.
    I've a big problem with Windows 7 and NOKIA N97 32G
    I install the latest version of Nokia Ovi Suite 2.0.2.42. When I connect the phone with USB and select PC suite mode in the phone, OVI don't see the phone and say method not compatible.
    I can't synchronize the phone.
    Help me.
    Thanks

    I just want to say that many Nokia Ovi Suite problems have showed up for me recently. I tried everything (including many reinstalls, cleans, etc.) and nothing helped.
    Finally I found the solution:
    I realized that I have installed Service Pack 1 on Windows 7 (32-bit), and this stopped Ovi Suite from working correctly. The solution is to run Ovi Suite in compatibility mode as "Windows 7"
    (You may be surprised to run an application in "Windows 7" compatibility mode on Windows 7. But after installing Service Pack, it is no longer "Windows 7" but it is now "Windows 7 SP1"! This is different. So "Windows 7" is the old mode without the service pack, and in this old mode Ovi Suite works.)
    Concluding: After installing Service Pack 1 just use compatibility mode as "Windows 7" to run Ovi Suite, and this program should work OK (at least for me it works on a 32-bit OS).
    PS. My version of Ovi Suite is 3.0.0.290

  • Backup Problem with Windows Server Backup

    Hello,
    we have problems with Windows Server Backup Feature.
    Our system is a Windows Server 2008 Standard. On the computer runs a SQL Server 2005.
    Since several days no backup can be carried out. We get the error message:
    - Error during a Volume Shadow Copy service operation. Detailed error: Failed to process the volume shadow copy: "0x800423F0".
    - Errors in the event log: For the started backup an error occured. The volume shadow copy operation  was not successful. Error code: "2155348129". Run the backup again after the problem was fixed.
    We have already tried to restart the services, uninstalled the Windows Server Backup Feature and reinstalled it, also we rebootet the server several times. Unfortunately, so far without success.
    What else can we do respectively where could be the problem?
    Kind regards

    Hi Sven,
    Please check if there a system partition that is created on the server. If so, assign a drive letter on the partition to check the results.

  • No GMail found using FF 17.0.1 with Windows XP Service Pack 3

    I recently made FF my primary browser. iGoogle is my homepage. Using an older PC with Windows XP, Service Pack 3. I have a gadget on my homepage for GMail, but it won't open up for me, nor can I manually go to Gmail. The message I get in the Gadget box is:
    The page isn't redirecting properly
    Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
    This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept

    I am new to FF, and don't understand what I need to do to fix this error.

  • Recent problems with Windows Update with Thinkpad 8

    Since last week I've started having problems with Windows Update on ny Thinkpad 8. It seems to be related with some recent update. At first I received different error codes. As I don't have many programs on my tablet, I refreshed it and set up Windows and Office again. I ran WU, and after the first update (with 100+ updates) WU was working ok. However, after a second set of updates (probably the most recent) I've started receiving error messages again. Most recently I am receiving code 80070002, and the error seems to affect only the installation of Windows Defender definitions through WU -- other WU updates install correctly, and most of the time I can install Windows Defender updates through Windows Defender. I have already tried the Windows Update Diagnostic tool, but the problem persists.

    thanks farby

    Your system doesn't meet the requirements and that is that. AE has required 900 pixel height ever since CS4. Other than changing your screen res or shuffling around windows there is nothing you can do.

  • Problems with Windows XP SP3 in Boot Camp

    Hi,
    I have recently received a 21.5" iMac; it is the higher-end of the 21.5" standard configurations. The problems I am having, I believe, specifically relate to drivers.
    Firstly, I get no sound whatsoever in Windows XP SP3 (boot camp); I have tried removing and reinstalling the drivers from the Snow Leopard install disc, but no success. I have no yellow question marks in the device manager window, but the absence of audio still persists.
    Secondly, I cannot gain access to the special functions of the Apple wireless keyboard in Windows XP SP3 via Boot Camp. Again, I have tried reinstalling the drivers, but no success. I have read an Apple support document which states that the keys are only supported on late 2009 Macs; I own one of these Macs, so that cannot be the problem.

  • I am having a problem with Windows Fusion installed on a MacBook.

    I am having a problem with Windows Fusion installed on a MacBook OS 10.  When attempting to use a Browser, (either IE, or Chrome), under Windows Fusion, I cannot browse to ANY page except Gmail.com.
    I checked all security settings, and found no problem. Neither browser will allow me to do ANYTHING other than go to Gmail.com!!!
    I am not sure if I have some virus on my Windows side, because Google and Safari both work perfectly on my Apple side, just not when running Windows Fusion.
    Is there some setting I am missing, or do you think I have malware/virus issues?? My Internet connection is DEFINITELY working fine - I can send, receive, open, and close all my email on Gmail only, and can navigate freely on Gmail, but cannot get to any other site even hyperlinked to Gmail.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you very much.

    If you've already tried my previous suggestions, it may be that something has tampered with the DNS settings in your Windows VM, which might bypass the settings your Mac uses. Assuming you're using Windows 8, these instructions explain how to check and change the DNS settings. There's also a link in those instructions listing a variety of suggested DNS settings. If you do try changing the settings, record what the settings currently are in case you want to return to them.

  • Looking for a site that shows problems with windows patches or updates.

    Looking for a site that shows problems with windows patches or updates...so I know what not to install.
    Plenty of sites list and summarize individual patches, I want one that consolidates problems and complaints so I can better assess the risk. Currently I'm waiting to install patches several days and doing google searches. That works, but I'd rather find a place

    Hi,
    I agreed with Cyber and Rick.
    Windows update helps to keep your PC safer—and your software current—by fetching the latest security and feature updates from Microsoft via the Internet.
    Although there might be some problems when installing it, Windows update is not the one to blame.
