    Microsoft Security Essentials times out when I try to start it


    Win xp sp3 starts as normal but MSE is turned off (red flag in tray) This is an old 32bit machine that has run perfectly for years


    When I open MSE it says definitions are up to date but it turned off

    When I click to turn on eventually I get error code 0x800705b4


    Help please.

    :)

    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.
