Getting some windows services errors, without a known cause
Hello, all.
I'ts good to see that there's a forum dedicated to Windows 7 where I can post this.
First some quick info:
I have built my own custom PC with pretty high specs. I've recently upgraded some stuff and made a fresh install of Win7 on my SSD. I know a lot about computers/hardware and software, so I know what I'm doing.
Here we go:
After about a week of installing programs, updates, etc. I noticed some weird stuff happening with my PC. First thing was, I got a little error in my taskbar saying that windows defender was not running. I noticed MS security essentials was also not running. Obviously I just tried restarting the security essentials, which did not work. It had problems with the windefend service. Which made me go to services.msc.
In there, I just tried restarting windefend myself, but windows then told me the service could not be found (error 126...) After some googling, the anwser must be in some registry values. So, I went to 'run' and typed in 'regedit'.
Now here's the joke: the program was not found. (At this point I was getting quite angry...)
So I figured, let's run shkdsk and sfc /scannow. That came up with some little errors which could be fixed. I did a restart.
On that restart, my mouse and keyboard were not working anymore. Went into safe mode and did a system restore, which (thankfully) sorted that out.
But, the problems wouldn't go away. Right now I'm seeing that my libraries are GONE. When I click 'create new library', windows says: 'unable to create the file new library.library-ms'...
Summarised, after a fresh install of windows and installing some (trusted) drivers and software, I keep getting the most annoying and strange errors within Windows which are mostly services and basic tasks.
I do not understand what's going on here, as I've had this before like a few months ago. I feel like I don't trust Win7 anymore as my workstation OS. The thing is, I HAVE to use it, because other OS'es just don't have the compatibility with the programs I use on a day-to-day basis.
Does anyone on this forum get similar strange errors within windows? I'm just getting sick and tired of this and I need a solution so I can continue my work!
EDIT: Could it be the fact that I'm running an OCZ Vertex plus SSD? I've had it running in my system for about a year which worked fine before...
