    Microsoft Security Essentials No Longer Working?


    Suddenly MSE stopped completing scans after the most recent updat. It just stops with a big red popup box saying it cannot complete the scan because constant protection it not turned on; however, that is not true; it is turned on. It also indicates my computer is not protected. This is a new issue and my pc has no changes other than the MSE update. I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.


    Thanks for any help.

    Windows 10 Windows Defender versus Microsoft Security Essentials

    Hi Bryan,

    Microsoft Security Essentials was upgraded to Windows defender and it was a default security software from Windows 8. You cannot have both as they are one.

    Since you get this annoying popup at the startup i suggest you to disable any Microsoft Security Essentials entries in Startup tab.

    • Open the Task manager. by pressing Press CTRL+Shift+ESC.
    • click on Startup tab
    • Right click on Microsoft Security Essentials entry and click on Disable.

    Restart the computer and check if that helps.
