    Can't turn on Windows Security Center Service


    I have a problem with my WSCS, when I tried to turn it on, "The windows security center services can't be started" always appearing. I've tried to enable it with "services.msc", but I can't find "security center" like in the image below.



    Can somebody help me please? I can't use Windows Update if I'm not turn WSCS on.

    You mean the service isn't listed under services.msc ?

    Anyways, Please download and run this tool.

    Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from Here

    Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
    • Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
    • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
    • Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Full Scan", then click Scan.
    • The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
    • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
    • Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
    • When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart. (See Note)
    • The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.

    Note:
    If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts.
    Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process.
    If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.

    Do you have a Security Suite installed like Norton or McAfee? These may disable Windows Security Center to avoid conflicts. Try uninstalling them, if they are uninstalled.

    If that doesnt help, run a sfc scan 3-4 times, then check whether security center is restored in services.

    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    Umm, nope, I use Bitdefender, it has no problem until 2 days ago. Should I do that 3-4 times? Okay, I'll try now.

    Well couple of things you can do. Try uninstalling bitdefender. If that doesnt work, a repair install seems to be the only way out.
