Windows 10: Multiple problems regarding WD and various services (Access Denied).

I installed the FCU back on 12/2, and it went fine (had a problem with the App Store, but that's been fixed). Now I'm having a bigger problem: I can't get the Windows Search service to start. I repeatedly get this in Event Viewer:
Code: The server {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout. The Windows Search service terminated with the following error: Access is denied. The Windows Search service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this x time(s).[/quote] The {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} part is different in each error, and it's been doing that every 2 minutes. WHY won't it start?! I'm also having a similar problem with Windows Defender. I try to start the WinDefend service (idk why it stopped in the first place) and it stops about 6 seconds later with this appearing in Event Viewer:
Code: The Windows Defender Antivirus Service service terminated with the following error: General access denied error[/quote] Does anyone know how to fix this? It was working fine yesterday, and I didn't install anything except an update for DAZ Studio 4 (and related products), but that doesn't usually cause problems, so it's not the culprit. If you want to know, it's legit (I've attached a screenshot of the DAZ3D product library with many orders visible on the left). As you can see, I edited out the photo and order ID for security reasons. Also, I've been having this problem since the 1st Creators Update back in April, 2017:
Code: Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB2267602 (Definition 1.257.1417.0) - Error 0x80070643[/quote] That's been popping up every single day, whenever WD tries to download/install an update. This also happens if I try to do it manually, either through the main Windows Update screen, or using WD's built-in update window (WD->Shield button->Definition Updates).
Here's another problem I'm having:
Code: The Background Intelligent Transfer Service service terminated with the following service-specific error: 0x8E5E0408[/quote] What on Earth does that mean? I can't do updates without that service. If I try to start it through Services, I get this:
Code: The Background Intelligent Transfer Service service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.[/quote] It shouldn't be doing that! Also I've run SFC, DISM, and various troubleshooters with no luck.

I can't turn off Windows Defender in Win 10 (service greyed out, regedit access denied)

So I have a small tablet with limited resources and I need to kill WD, the service is greyed out and if I try and disable the service in the registry it tells me access denied. I'm logged in as adminmof the tablet.

External hard drives do not reconnect after Windows 10 laptop comes out of sleep mode

If you have any of the WD Wares (wd quick view, wd drive utilities, wd security) i found that when i put my computer to sleep it also locked the external hard drive (windows 10 64-bit, 4tb WD External) so whenever i would get out of sleep mode and try
to access my hard drive it would say access is denied when i tried to open anything. I found opening WD Security and unlocking the hard drive fixes everything that denied me access to my hard drive upon waking after sleep.

 

Hi StarGate38

A simple fix that fixes a lot of errors and is easy to perform is the inplace repair / upgrade.

Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade


It is a non destructive process but I always recommend taking a data backup.

Now I'm having another problem when I tried using the Media Creation Tool to create the USB Flash Drive repair media:
Code: We're not sure what happened, but we're unable to run this tool on your PC. If you continue experiencing problems, reference the error code when contacting customer support. Error code: 0x80080005 - 0x90017[/quote] I'm really upset about this. Is there ANY way to get it to work?! *Mad I did find an old thread that references a page with direct ISO links, but I'm not sure if it's legit:

Downloading iso Windows 10 without media creation tool - Windows 10 Forums

My Win10 is OEM, but I still copied the product key (using ShowKeyPlus) to a txt file in an external drive, just in case I need to reactivate it.

You download --- Windows ISO Downloader exe.

You won't need your key and I recommend you do not try to install with it. Your machine was "fingerprinted" by MS. They will activate when they see it again.
