HDD Protection System Service Disabled

Toshiba PC Health Monitor - HDD Protection System Service is disabled, how can I enable

Hi
I think this is the simplest way to get the HDD protection working again.
Uninstall the HDD Protection Utility, reboot the unit and install this tool again.
Reboot again.
Thats all

  • Why are my system services disabled for Admin accounts?

    Hi all,
    I noticed that pretty much all services are disabled in my main (administrator) account. ("make new stickie note" from selection, Grab, import image, look up in dictionary, mail, font etc... Everything is a no go.
    I set up a regular account as a test and they all seem to work. I just bought my mac recently and installed 160 gigs worth of documents/profedssional apps and I'm dreading having to go through all that again just so I can have a fully functional os!
    Is there an easy way to copy all my settings from my admin account to another account? Or even better, is there a way to turn on all the fun services in the admin account?
    Thanks for any info!

    Try deleting the Desktop settings file. Open a Finder window, select the Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type:
    ~/Library/Preferences
    Then, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist", and restart. Finally, open System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver, and change the desktop wallpaper

  • HDD Protection Settings is Not Responding (?)

    HDD Protection Settings is Not Responding (?)
    After disabling the program some time ago I would like to enable it again.
    However, after I click on the HDD Graphic, in the PC Health Monitor, Im unable to make settings changes.
    And then a pop up dialog box appears, when I close out, which reads: It was not able to set up correctly to the HDD Protection System Service
    Another source says Invalid Shortcut.
    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\TOSHIBA\Utilities\HDD Protection Settings.Ink
    Is there anyway to Re Activate this?
    Thx
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I got 'HDD Protection' up and running.
    Control Panel>Programs and Features>Scroll down>TOSHIBA HDD Protection>Right Click on that line item>Click Uninstall>Follow Instructions.
    Then I recommend (if you have already Installed) Uninstalling Utility 'Advanced SystemCare' as I've read that it Deletes 2 or 3 of the most important files of HDD Protection; and personally, after I Right Clicked on HDD Protection, in All Programs, folders, above the Search Box, after clicking on the Windows Start Button, I Clicked on 'Short Cut Fix' and immediatedly Advanced SystemCare ran a Scan and read that the Short Cut to HDD Protection files had been changed, missing, or deleted (something to that effect) Therefore, Advanced SystemCare, is intergrated with HDD Protection, so I Uninstalled THAT Program, then Re-Started my notebook.
    After program(s) are Uninstalled: Go to www.support.toshiba.com
    Click on 'Drivers & Software' from the Right Console.
    Enter Your computer's Model & Model Number.
    And the recommended Software Version page will appear - but if you desire a different version, there is a listed link section on the extreme Left side of your Screen.
    I went with the Default version, and after the Download/Install - it's just like New again!

  • Can not find HDD protection service

    Hello,
    I have Satellite pro u 200. I have instaled new system (windows xp professional service pack 3). I installed most of tools and utillites and all work ok, but I have a problem with HDD protection. I doesn't start with the system. When I try to open it or open settings windows pops and it says
    TOSHIBA HDD Protection - Setting Utility
    Can not find HDD Protection Service.
    OK
    What can I do?

    Hi
    > I installed most of tools and utillites
    What tools have you installed exactly?
    For the Toshiba tools you have to install Common Modules first. Its necessary for all other tools. Check this!
    Furthermore are you sure that Satellite Pro U200 is equipped with HDD protection?

  • Active Protection System for Ultrabay HDD's

    Does the Active Protection System protect a HDD in the UltraBay of the W520?  I have a 750GB WD Scorpio Black using the Ultrabay adapter from NewmodeUS.  This page says it protects Ultrabay drives in some T series ThinkPads, but doesn't mention the W series or W520 specifically.
    W520 i7-2720QM | 32 GB RAM 1333 MHz | FHD 1920x1080 | Quadro 1000M | Windows 7 & Ubuntu 14.04
    Crucial M500 480GB mSATA + 2 x 1 TB Hitachi Travelstar 7200 rpm | BIOS 1.38

    It does. It even protects an HDD connected via eSATA.

  • Satellite P70-A-11V - does HDD protection work without accelerometer?

    Hi all,
    I am new here.
    I already made another post. In brief, I am pretty much expert in Toshiba Satellite laptops, but my new one, Satellite P70-A-11V, a high-end professional laptop, had some issues. It came with Windows 8, which I upgraded to 8.1. Unfortunately, the system degraded so bad that all pendrives made it crash. I connected my Toshiba camcorder to it, and it also crashed the laptop.
    The search indexing was not working outside the C: drive. The pointer of any optical mouse started to freeze for seconds on the screen.
    This latter I believe was due to underpowered USB ports.
    So, I really had no choice after 2 total system restores, and installed Windows 7 Enterprise x64, SP1. The OS looks almost ok, but I still have problems, and one of these is that however I try to install the accelerometer utilities, there is no driver.
    I tried the one for Windows 8 x64, but it just does not appear on the services list.
    I found that the HDD protection utility was also stopped, and I searched this forum, and someone told that the Intel Rapid Storage technology should be uninstalled. I did so, and my HDD protection is running... but I am not sure if it is effective!
    I remember that with the Windows 8.1, the utility always showed a message on the upper right corner: Vibration is detected etc, that the disk is temporarily shut down etc.
    It was associated with some high pitch noise indicating that the disk was indeed stopped. Now I can shake the laptop, but no message pops up, no sound is heard.
    I checked all the checkboxes at the HDD protection interface to indicate if there is vibration, but so far nothing. The HDD protection is up and running, but in the absence of accelerometer utility, the HDD protection just does not know when to act.
    Am I right? Can Toshiba medicate this?
    All answers are greatly appreciated.

    Hi
    Toshiba drivers and tools released for Win 8 or Win 8.1 are not fully comparable with the Toshiba software available for Win 7 OS.
    Some drivers and tools which are available for Win 8 dont exist for Win 7 system.
    For example; the Accelerometer Utilities or HDD Protection Utility were released especially for Win 8 / Win 8.1 system and are not available for Win 7.
    But for Win 7 you will find the Toshiba VAP (value added package) and this package installs a range of important utilities which are essential component of Windows system and this VAP is required to make the other TOSHIBA original programs work properly.
    Therefore you should install the VAP as first Toshiba tool to ensure that other software like HDD/SSD Alert Utility or PC Health Monitor

  • Should i use "HDD protection utility" in connection with SSD drive?

    I've replaced HDD with SSD and reinstalled my Windows. Accidentally I've installed "HDD protection utility"? Is it absolutely useless in system with SSD? Should I uninstall this utility?
    Thank you.

    Since one month I use SSD with my Satellite Notebook. I have installed original recovery image that includes HDD protection utility. I can start it but it is inactive.
    Strange thing is that with HDD it was inactive too. To be honest I dont care about that. It is preinstalled but I have disabled it from automatic start-up.
    In my opinion you can remove it from the system.

  • Forefront Endpoint Protection Monitoring Service

    Hello,
    I just saw that the Forefront Endpoint Protection Monitoring Service is stoppable. I had a virus a few weeks ago on my machine at home that has security essential installed. The virus continually disabled the service. Does it make sense to control the service
    via gpo to not make it stoppable even by the system and admin user?
    Cheers

    This is old discussion, but let me explain some improvements in Microsoft Anti-Malware Engine. When a program tried to disable any service, process or anything related to Windows Security or Microsoft Anti-Malware Engine , Firewall, etc. It will be detected
    as a suspicious behavior and it will be blocked (no matter whether it is known malware or unknown program). In case of unknown program, you might be asked to send more details or submit it to Microsoft Malware Protection Center.
    In addition, in Windows Vista and later version of Windows such as Windows 7, Windows 8.x when you have User Account Control (UAC), all programs run as an standard user unless you grand them permission as administrator. So by default, if a program tried
    to disable any Security related service in Windows is unable to that because it won't run as administrator and is unable to perform something which runs as administer unless, if you are in administrator account and UAC is off or you grand administrator privilege
    to the program (e.g. right click and run as administrator).
    However, if you still face any programs which might try to disable services and it won't block by FEP , Microsoft Security Essentials or other Microsoft Anti-Malware products, you could submit it sample to Microsoft Malware Protection Center for more analysis.

  • HDD Protection - Check Disk / Defrag Problems

    I believe the Toshiba HDD Protection utility has my hard drive write protected. I can't run a check disk (it cancels on its own) and I can't run a defrag. When I run check disk in repair mode, the error message specifically indicates the drive is write protected. Other attempts through other means indicates the drive is currently in use by another process. 
    I can boot in safe mode and the system responds. When logged in as a user the system is really slow. The system locks up when trying to disabled HDD Protection or responding to the pop-up that the head is temporarily moved to a safe position.

  • TOSHIBA HDD Protection

    Hello,
    When my laptop, a fairly new tecra 950, boots it gets stuck on the Windows 7 welcome screen. I can hear the harddrive make a sound. It not quite clicking more like its sliding or resetting every second or two. When I disable the HDD protection service through msconfig it boots fine and runs like normal.  Any ideas?   I already installed the latest update and bios firmware, but it didn't help.
    Thanks

    Hello! It's always a good idea to post your model number. It can be found on the bottom of your laptop. I would to a chkdsk and see what that turns up.
    Open the "Computer" window
    Right-click on the drive in question
    Select the "Tools" tab
    In the Error-checking area, click <Check Now
    I Love my Satellite L775D-S7222 Laptop. Some days you're the windshield, Some days you're the bug. The Computer world is crazy. If you have answers to computer problems, pass them forward.

  • Active Protection now shows "disabled" upon boot up

    Recent change. Do not know what changed, but this always worked for me. Perhaps recent Wndows Updates?
    Active Protection comes up disabled after any boot or reboot. I recheck the option to Enable, but it is unchecked after each boot. Using XP Pro, T-61.
    Any ideas for the fix?
    ~Bob

    Hi,
    try to check following:
    - go to System Configuration Utility <Start->run-> type msconfig> and in the services and Startup  tabs, make sure, that the option for Active protection enabled <checked>: "TpShocks"
    - this same should be also in registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\TpShocks value: TpShocks.exe
    In case after you enable Active Protection and it's working fine, then this might be only a configuration issue, where perhaps and Antivir dissabled this applicaiton.
    Cheers

  • Twist Crashing due to Active Protection System (BSoD)

    Hi all,
    Ever since I installed an update for the ThinkVantage APS (Active Protection System) my computer has crashed almost every time it suspends the HDD. This has become a niusiance, and I have disabled it for now (Rendering my PC unsafe).  Anyone else having this issue? The crashes are BSoD's, and the errors I get are KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR or CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED. 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi all,
    I opened the Hard drive bay, Pushed it in more, closed it, then tightened it up. Not one crash since, and it's been 4 days. I usually have 3 crashes a day or so.
    Problem (probably) solved.
    Thank you all

  • Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. and 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)

    Hi!
    So i think i closed the wrong service at some point a few weeks back (apple mobile device) but iTunes remained working after that for another week. I then updated iTunes and i get the same  "Service ‘Apple Mobile Device’ (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." every time. If i click ignore, just so i can access iTunes with out syncing my iPod (touch 2nd gen) i then get 'iTunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)" when it has all installed. I don't understand what the problem is anymore as I have looked at other questions on the apple website, carried out the advice and it hasn't work. Any of them.
    Tings I have done:
    - Wiped all iTunes and Apple data from my computer (if you search for 'iTunes' or 'Apple' nothing comes up apart from applets from system code.
    - Attached iPod before iTunes install and updated drivers.
    - Installed iTunes as 'Run as administrator'
    - Uninstalled and re-installed the software nearly 20 times now and rebooted the computer in between everytime.
    Please someone help because i really need to get music on my ipod and i enjoy the ease of use of iTunes compared to spotify or Windows Media Player.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
    Regarding AMDS failures there is a hint in another thread that disabling the Windows Firewall before attempting to reinstall may help, otherwise take a look at the steps outlined in this post. Re: Can't install iTunes 12.1 on Windows 7 64-bit. I know they look a little daunting, but the process of generating the logs themselves isn't that hard to do. Extracting useful information from them is still a challenge but maybe something will leap out. If you want to post the log for the failed components for me to have a look at here or in the other thread please edit out any personal information, particularly your email address, first.

  • Unable to restart the Microsoft Software Protection Platform service from command line - Win81 MS Office 2013 SP1

    I'm unable to restart the Microsoft Software Protection Platform service on a Windows 8.1 laptop for MS Office 2013 SP1 (32-bit) using the following command:
    cscript ospp.vbs /osppsvcrestart (issued from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15)
    When this is run, a window appears with the title ospp.vbs and the text "Error: The Software Protection Platform service is not installed"
    I verified that the service is installed in services.msc, and was able to manually stop and restart the SPP service in the Services console without issue.
    The command runs correctly when restarting the MS Office 2013 SPP on Windows 7 devices.
    Has anyone else seen this or have a solution for it?
    The reason that I am attempting to restart the service from the command line is because this command is part of a script to change the KMS server IP Address used by OSPP prior to software activation.
    The only other options that I have at this time is to ask the users to reboot, or manually force a reboot.  This is both time consuming and disruptive to the users.
    The Fix It tool to remove MS Office 2013 was run, and the MS Office 2013 software was successfully reinstalled after a reboot.  The software was successfully activated.  When the command was run, it produced the same exact error.

    Hi,
    I am able to reproduce this on my own machine, but in my case, I don't see the specific service running in the Services console. 
    I would like first confirm that whether you've the right service running on your Windows 8.1 system. The display name of this service should be "Office Software Protection Platform", service name is "osppsvc".
    You can also check this by going to below path where you should see the executable file (OSPPSVC.EXE) if the service is installed on your system (in my case, the folder is empty):
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform
