This is a common error generated by Windows Defender when the Windows Defender Service cannot be started. The fix is rather straight forward…

Go to Start -> Run Type in services.msc

Make sure Windows Defender Services is running, if it is not, manually start it.

If that doesn’t fix the problem, download and install Windows Defender from Microsoft.

If you are trying to Disable Windows Defender, follow this URL below…

Windows Defender can be easily disabled and here is how it’s done… It is NOT recommended to be disabled and I hope you know what you’re doing.

Here is how it’s done…

Go to Start -> Control Panel and click on Security Centre or go to Start -> Run and type in wscui.cpl and It will bring up Security Centre.

Click Tools, and then click Options.

Under Administrator options, select or clear the Use Windows Defender check box, and then click Save. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Before doing so I would like to stress, If you are a novice user and don’t know what you are doing, you should leave it alone and it should be Enabled. It is there to protect your PC and highly recommended to leave it ON.

• Go to Control Panel
• Open User Accounts
• Untick “Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer”

That’s it, if it asks you to restart, go ahead and do it.

It might give you some annoying popup on the Taskbar about UAC being turned off, to disable that…

• Go to Control Panel
• Security Center

On the left hand side, Click on “Change the way Security Center alerts me” and select “Don’t notify me and don’t display the icon”

That’s it!

Windows Live Messenger sometimes doesn’t show the music you play on Windows Media Player even though you set it to show.

The work around is the following…

Open up Windows Media Player, and go to Tools => Options (You might need to hit the ALT key to see the hidden menu)

Click the Plug-ins tab, then on the Category Column, Click on Background and make sure Windows Live Messenger Music Plug-in is ticked. If not, tick it and Apply then OK.

See the following screenshot for more info…

Now you should be able to Show what you play on Windows Media Player.
