Windows 10: Defender won't start, service stopped, right mouse menu blocked!

I am at the end of my wits, tried about everything I read elsewhere, nothing works.
My Windows 10.0.18363.657 was running fine, Defender Firewall and virus active and working, no other antivirus stuff installed.
The system crashed hard (BSOD "Microcode revision mismatch") and could only be revitalized with a unique paywall tool (EasyRE). In fact the Windows installation IS running again after the restore tool messed around in the boot area, but with very weird and irritating limitations.

Among these I see:
- Defender firewall is up, but virus checking is now off and can not be accessed
- in MSCONFIG I can see the all services (e.g. Defender is off and many more) but cannot even access their Start/Stop control menu with right mouse clicks! I do notice a periodic 'update' circle running every 6sec for ca. 6 sec, but no menu pops up. I can set the checkmarks of any service entry though. Right mouse click work in other programs like TaskManager, the desktop etc. Someone/something does not want to me to access any service controls!
- I am sure I had very recent restore points of my Windows installation, but they are gone (more disk space visible!)
- many security related options are deactivated with warning signs, suggesting Admin right needs (I AM the Admin!)
- all this is visible in regular and in SafeMode

I did the typical stuff: DISM, ScanNow, the PowerShell scripts etc, registry flags - without success.

Without any security tools up I am basically running 'naked' and also without full control over my system.
One could suggest that EasyRE hijacked my machine when 'fixing' it..
A rebuild from scratch is very, VERY complicated to the amount of apps, of tweaks and settings on this system.
That's why I chose the EasyRE way to rescue it. None of other tools got me out of the 'microcode revision' BSOD.

Somehow the entire UAC,group policy, rights and Admin control got out of whack big time.
Where to start to get this back to normal, in what sequence? I cannot afford to start yet another full Win10 reinstall; this would be the THIRD time since I got this laptop just three years ago..

Thanks for useful tips and ideas, and any clear procedures to untangle this Windows10 mess!

BLUETOOTH MOUSE WON T MOOVE. WHY?

I have a Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 5000 that works only (right and left click works properly) but it won t moove. please help me and answer me as soon as possible.

 

mouse is not working right


unfortunately there isn't a lot to a usb mouse. what i would suggest is checking the power management settings on it.

Right-click the start menu and choose device manager
Expand Universal Serial Bus Controllers at the very bottom
Double-click on each HUB you have listed, click Power Management Tab at the top, and UNCHECK "Allow this computer to turn off this device to save power"
You may have HUBs called Generic and Root Hub. Perform the step above on All of them.

If you continue to have the issue, i would imagine your mouse is malfunctioning. Perhaps try another mouse just to be sure. This will help you determine if it is in fact the mouse of computer causing the issue.

Good Luck!!

 

Win10 start menu won`t open (SOLUTION)

To all people that suffer from same problems as I did:

-Win 10`s start menu won`t open after restart

-Win 10`s menu stops working after few days if your pc has been idle or just on.

-Win 10`s menu works after AC power down

-Win 10`s menu won`t work after restart unless you log out and relog through CTRL+ALT+DEL

It took me 7 hours to find cause of this problem, lots program reinstallations and browsing through internet.

Even Microsoft support didn`t provide the right answer for this problem, they just give you commands and advices to create new accounts, cleanup this, reinstall that, clean boot this, normal boot that. But what they don`t say is that all those problems are
caused by their so called "feature" that released with their "Fall Creators Update". A feature that saves some data into the memory, so after restart it start`s to open all your chrome windows and other programs.

CAUSE:

Your windows might get some conflicts with some programms during the session, before the update if you shutdown/restart your pc, windows where just dumping all the data out of the window, after the update it started to save it to the memory (including all the
conflicted data). THANK YOU MICROSOFT!

SOLUTION:

Go to your Search icon on the taskbar, type > Settings > Accounts > Sing-In options > Under "Privacy" uncheck/disable "Use my sing-in info to automatically setting up my device after an update or restart" > Restart

Hope it helps folks!

And ofcourse:

Microsoft, you`ve already forced us into updates with Win10.

Will you now please stop screwing up windows even more with your pointless system breaking features!

Stop reinventing the wheel.
