    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.

    Windows Defender (Security System) not showing exclusions

    Hi Dalchina
    No, my last post to Digmore was referring to this main PC where my paid copy of Malware Bytes is installed.
    Actually things have become worse since spending more time trying to fix Defender Security and get it to function properly, alongside MBytes. There are many posts about this on these forums, quite detailed and lengthy, and I have run all the suggested tests and scans, to no avail. Now I'm getting the errors shown in the attached two pics.

    Windows Defender Security Center Won't Stay Open

    None of your screenshots work. I suggest uploading them to tinypic.com or imgur.com and then posting a direct link within your post please.

    Screenshots would be helpful.
