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.

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.
