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…

Startup Control Panel is a nifty control panel applet that allows you to easily configure which programs run when your computer starts. In another word, It will let you modify the following registry keys with a GUI interface.

• Startup (user) - the current user’s Startup folder in the Start Menu.
• Startup (common) - the common (all users) Startup folder in the Start Menu.
• HKLM / Run - the Run registry key located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. These apply for all users.
• HKCU / Run - the Run registry key located in HKEY_CURRENT_USER. These apply for the current user only.
• Services - system services that are started before the user logs in. This appears only in Win9x; on NT/2000/XP, use the Services control panel, or the Services item in Computer Management.
• Run Once - started once and once only at the next system startup.
• Deleted - programs go to the Deleted tab when you remove them from another location. They will not run at system startup, but will merely be stored should you ever want to use them again. If you delete an item from the Deleted tab, it is removed permanently.
