    Windows 10 Security Center Service can't be started

    I am also having a probem starting windows security center. When I did the following step: I found the following disabled:

    Security center properties

    Windows update properties

    Security center WSCSV

    Remote registry

    net.tcp port sharing

    internet connection sharing

    COMODO LPS launcher

    COMODO Internet security

    Auto time zone update

    Should these be enabled and if so how do I enable them?

    I have no defense toward any threats at this time. Please help!!

    Method 1: I suggest you to follow the steps provided below:

    • Press Windows key + R on the keyboard.
    • Type “Services.msc” without quotes and press Enter.
    • Locate for Remote Procedure Call (RPC) and Windows Management Instrumentation.
    • Check whether the following services are Started and set to Automatic.

    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.

    Security Center service cannot be started

    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.

    Reset Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

    Windows 10 - Clean Install - Windows 10 Forums

    There are also some suggestions listed here:
