My Windows Firewall is up and running thanks to you! but Windows Defender...
FutureChris21:
I had those error codes 0x80070424 & error code 0x6D9, so I spent the whole day trying to fix it exhausting every possible way of trying to, I came across and used your Windows Repair and my Windows Fire Wall works now! but my Windows Defender stayed the same :( so I improvised and got Windows Security Essentials.... but I'm still hoping Windows Defender can be fixed as well :artist:
Tomas_Sweden:
What version of windows do you have?
Have you tried these?

I have Windows 7, and my Windows Defender doesn't even show up under services, I can only find it under search and I can only open it, heres screen shots, by the way it doesn't let me uninstall it to reinstall it... if only I could repair it but its no where to be found in programs
Tomas_Sweden:
I think that Microsoft Security Essentials is designed to disable Windows Defender in win 7, but that doesn't explain why it doesn't work.
Have you search for virus or malware?
Have you tried step 1, 2 and 3 in Windows repair?

Try running this. It is called autoruns.

You don't have to install it. Just run it, click on services tab and see if windows defender is listed there, this should at least let you know if the service is still present. Don't uncheck anything in this program unless you know what your doing, in fact before you run it, create a restore point! LOL! This little utility will show you almost everything running. It should look like my attachment. You can also see what drivers are running or not and a whole host of other process's.
