You're welcome Jesse.

Greg, I sent you a message with the ID and password.

If you are not sorted yet Jesse I would take Greg up on his offer ...

 

[Jesse Williams]

Maxie, I did. My computer seems to be running a lot better now. Thanks everyone for your help. Greg said for me to keep an eye on things and to report back if it happens again.

 

[Jesse Williams]

As Greg did on my other computer, I am removing things on my Windows 8.1 computer that could cause performance issues. I've ran into a problem. I can't get my Windows Defender to turn on.

 

[maxie]

What Programs did you remove Jesse ?

 

[Jesse Williams]

CenturyLink Installer, and Norton.

 

[maxie]

Did you use the Removal Tool for Norton ?

 

[Jesse Williams]

No...I did not!

 

[maxie]

Download it after use go to the action center you should be able to turn Defender on then ...

 

[Jesse Williams]

Download the Norton Uninstall Tool?

 

[maxie]

Yes

 

[Jesse Williams]

It still won't turn on.

 

[maxie]

Did you Reboot after the Uninstall ?

 

[Jesse Williams]

Yes. I did after I ran the Norton Uninstall Tool.

 

[maxie]

Okay try Post 7 first in the Link below if that does not work try Post 9 ...


Solved How to turn on Windows Defender after uninstalling Norton

 

[NSA]

Some users, including myself, have and big issue with the Catalyst Control Center, specifically with graphics drivers because of their size, combined with the size of CCC. my advice is to take the route I did, uninstall the CCC and all of its components, and install a program called DriverMax. It will scan your system, and you can download a graphics driver from there. The driver I have is called the Standard VGA Adapter, but it offers my regular 1366x768 screen resolution, and as a bonus, after installing it, set DriverMax to not load with the system on startup, so then when you boot, the time CCC takes to load is taken out of the equation on PC boot, DriverMax wont boot either because you turned it off in the system startup options, and then you'll still have a good screen resolution. Results may vary depending on screen size, I'm not sure, but it worked for it, and it's worth a try, may even get a faster boot as well without CCC cluttering up your boot and slowing it down

Maxie, I still can't get it to turn on. NSA, Greg did remove CCC last night. I will definitely give DriverMax a try.
