Security Center Service turns itself off

Okay, did that yesterday. This morning the red x was back. It usually, maybe always, seems to happen overnight.

Once again, please create a new Restore Point before proceeding. (See Post #15)

The following re-establishes the Security Center Registry.

Next, download the following Windows 7 Registry key:

Save to the Desktop.

Double-click on wscsvc.reg file and confirm the prompt to merge.

Restart the computer.

What happens now?

Also, what AntiVirus program do you have installed, if any?

Please check your Private Messages (Upper left).

Okay, I did the above, and no change next morning - little red x was back.

My computer uses Vipre Business Premium - updates are current, scans are performed daily and Active Protection is enabled.

Is there any relevent message (failure) in event log? If it crashes.... it should log in event log why

Well, I wouldn't say it crashes, just the service gets turned off. As for the event log, there is a bewildering (to me) amount of information there - where specifically should I look?

Does it happens once a day? Same time? Try to find a pattern.

Same problem when doing Troubleshoot Application Conflicts by Performing a Clean Startup ?

Yes, it seems to happen every day, sometime between late evening and dawn.

I'll try the clean start up tonight and leave it overnight to see if the red x is there tomorrow morning.

Hi GoodOldDad,
see screenshot to identify cause of turning off,
NB the >>>detail<<< screen.
