Windows Defender Won't Turn Off After Running Repair

<< < (3/9) > >>

Boggin:
I'll ask him about those services set to Access Denied and if he can have the logs give more info.

They tend to just say Done.

Can you post the log which shows the Access Denied as I've linked your thread into my email to him.

Is your Windows Firewall turned on as Avira doesn't have its own firewall ?

Mighty Joe:
Thanks for taking a look at my logs, Boggin.  Much appreciated.  Here's the Services_Set_Permissions_Error_Log:

I also got "access denied" errors on the Repair_Network, Repair_MSI_Windows_Installer, and HKLM/HKU_Set_Owner/Set Permissions_Error logs.  I'd love to post those for your review as well if that's OK?

@Mighty Joe:
- Did you run all repairs in one run ?
- You can use Windows Repair (WR) to change the start up state of the Windows Defender Service. Go to the main repair screen WR, select/click on the "Repair Info" tab and select the info for repair #27. That info will tell you how to disable the "Windows Defender" Service using WR.
- Keep us posted !!!!

@Boggin:
"When you run an AV program that doesn't have its own firewall then WD will remain active as the Windows Firewall aspect will remain running. I use Norton Security which auto disables WD because it has its own firewall."

Does this apply to Win 10 only ? I thought WD & the Firewall had their own Service and that they wouldn't influence each other.

Willy2:
- Did this problem surface before the "Anniversary Update" ?

Mighty Joe:
@Willy2:
I ran all repairs in one run.  From what I can see Option 27 does not disable WD.  Below is the repair information from WR on what option 27 specifically does:

Set Windows Services To Default Startup:
================================
This will set the Windows Services to their default startup state. This repair is loosely based on info found at http://www.blackviper.com.

By default this repair will enable:
- the Windows Firewall Service, called "SharedAccess" (XP) or "Mpssvc" (Vista & newer).
- the Windows Defender Service called "WinDefend" (Vista & newer).
- the Windows Search Service

I ran WR on 8/6 and 8/9 (yesterday), after the Anniversary Update. 

Thanks
