Windows 10: Windows services randomly stopping?

So I've recently had this issue with my new computer, where core Windows services will stop, i.e. Windows Update, Search Indexing. I go into services, set the disabled ones to "Automatic", then click Start, but after a while, the core services will set themselves to "Disabled" again. I've run scans for programs that could stop these services, as well as viruses. I've run too many DISM and SFC's to count, nothing works. Can somebody help?

Windows Update service stops randomly

Hello,

I'm having an issue where the Windows Update service keeps stopping randomly (my WHS keeps alerting me when it stops). I'm running Windows 10 1607. After stopping, I can start the service again with no issues and it runs anywhere from a few minutes to a
few hours before shutting off again. It does not appear to be crashing - there are no entries in the Application or System event viewer logs.

I've done the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Checked the Event logs (as mentioned)

2. Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter.

3. Tried deleting the SoftwareDistribution folder from C:\Windows

I've uploaded my
WindowsUpdate.log here. It clearly shows the service shutting down, but I can't really figure out why.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

Windows Defender service stops randomly

Suddenly the Windows Defender service keeps turning itself off. I haven't detected a pattern leading to the behavior yet, it just seems to happen randomly. I'll glance down at the icon in the systray and see the red "x". I double-click it, then hit the "Restart" button in the Defender window to get the green checkmark back. Sometimes I open "Services.msc" and will see it's marked as "stopped". I can right-click and restart it that way. In the services list it's set to start automatically and if I open properties all the options are greyed out.

Opening Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Security and Maintenance it shows Windows Defender is turned on, even when the tray icon has the red "x" and it's marked as stopped in service.msc. If I click on "View installed anti-virus apps" it shows McAffee Anti-Virus and Spyware, but it's set to "Off" and Windows Defender Antivirus set to "On". I didn't install the McAffee stuff, I'm pretty sure it came pre-installed and has been there a while without causing problems. Essentially, the red "x" and Services.msc says the service is stopped, but the Security and Maintenance window says it's on. I can run a scan no problem.

Tried running SFC and rebooting. Didn't help.

What the what is this nonsense?
