    Hi Edehomon,



    I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with turning on Windows Security services with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.



    This issue might occur if third party security has disabled Windows Defender services.



    I suggest you to follow the steps below to

    To assist you better, please provide us the information below:

    • When you say that "windows security services are turned off", have you installed any third party security software on the computer?
    • Are you getting any error message?

    I suggest you to try to turn on Windows Defender by following steps below and check if it helps.

    1. Click on Search bar?

    2. Type "Settings" without the quotes in the search bar and click on it.

    3. Then click on Update & security.

    4. Click on Windows Defender.

    Note: If a third party security software is installed on the computer, then it will disable Windows Defender.

    windows defender & security center services keep turning off


    Are you running any other AV or did you have one running in the past? If you didn't use an uninstaller for the AV, then the remnants of it could be causing the problem. Normally any time you install an AV it disables Defender by default.

    If you are getting any error codes please list those, that will be helpful in helping you.

    As torre suggested, might be a good idea to do a reset or even a reinstall.
