Windows 10: Why cant i restart windows security?

I noticed it the windows security thing had a little red x on it so i opened it and it says "Threat services has stopped. Restart it now" But i cant. I press it and nothing happens. I thought maybe i need to update windows, but i cant do that either. I click on the start menu or whatever it is called and nothing comes up, so i type update into the search bar and click on that and it brings a window up for a split second and then closes it.

What could be causing all this? I thought maybe virus but the only thing ive downloaded recently was drivers for my new drawing tablet (from the official site) and overwolf/curseforge so i can play modded minecraft.

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
