Windows 10: Error message: “Security Center service cannot be started”

My cousin tried installing a cracked game in my laptop. He ended up disabling the Microsoft defender completely. I tried restarting the service for Defender from Services but no "Start" or "restart" or even "Stop" option is there. I tried enabling it from control panel but it does not work. I even tried to reset my device while keeping my data but it did not work. Please suggest how to fix this since I feel that my device is severely infected.

Security Center Service won't start

Hi,

The Security Center service is dependent on other services for it to be able to start properly. You can follow these steps to start the dependent services in the correct order:

• Click Start, type cmd, right-click on
  Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator.
• At the command prompt, run the following commands in the listed order:
  • Type sc start DCOMLaunch and press Enter.
  • Type sc start RpcSs and press Enter.
  • Type sc config Winmgmt start= auto and press Enter.
  • Type sc start Winmgmt and press Enter.
  • Type sc config Wscsvc start= auto and press Enter.
  • Type sc start wscsvc and press Enter.
• Close the command prompt window and try to start the Security Center
  service again.

Let us know if the solution above works or if you have any other concerns.
