Cannot Turn On Windows Defender

Jan 23, 2016

I have a new Dell Computer with Windows 10. I have deleted McAfee with its on Uninstaller and also with another uninstaller.  I have no other antimalware programs running.  I have tried a number of ways to start Windows Defender, which is the only antimalware program listed in my Security area.  I have tried to start it with Services.  I get an error message as shown below. I get this error message: "The Windows Defender Service service on Local Computer started and then stopped.  Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs."  I have removed all other antimalware programs and no longer get McAfee popups.

Cannot Turn On Windows Defender - This App Has Been Turned Off And Is Not Monitoring Your Computer

Nov 10, 2015

I can't turn on Windows Defender. When I try to launch it, a window saying "This app has been turned off and is not monitoring your computer" pops up. I tried everything that's listed on the MS answers thread. I am unable to start the Windows Security Centre service too. It doesn't stay enabled i.e., it becomes disabled as soon as I close the Services app. I have no anti-virus installed. Been using WD since I upgraded.

Installation :: Cannot Go To Control Panel And Say Uninstall Program

Mar 5, 2016

How can I uninstall Windows 10? I am having a ton of problems and no longer want to deal with them. I cannot go to the Control Panel and say Uninstall the program since the Control Panel Uninstall Programs shows only very small % of the programs I have on the computer. Just one of the many problems. I do have a Windows 8.1 flash drive from Dell so I can reinstall Windows 8.1.

Installation :: HDD Startup Delay - How To Turn It Off

Jun 10, 2015

An old problem seems to have re-occurred with W10 -- I had a post ages ago - can't find it - about this problem --if I haven't used the computer for a while and then I want to browse files on a standard HDD there is a delay while the HDD powers on (or seems to) and then I get the file.

I know an HDD is nothing like as fast as an SSD but I can hear the HDD starting up -- is there any way to turn this delay OFF.

set turn HDD off to 0 (i.e Never) -- you have to look at power options in Control panel (advanced) rather than settings.

Installation :: Laptop Won't Turn Off Or Restart Properly Since Upgrade

May 17, 2015

I recently started trying out Windows 10. It's buggy and frustrating, but it's still in preview mode, so... That's expected.

Nothing was working when I installed build 10074 off disc, so I installed build 9926 off a disc (I got the iso from MSDNAA, I'm a programming student) then upgraded via settings to 10074.

During the upgrade, my laptop started resetting, normal. But halfway through, the resets stopped working.

The screen switches off, the cd drive switches off and the hdd activity light switches off, but the power stays on, and the fan keeps running. It also doesn't switch off on shutdown either.

I finally have a working version of Windows 10, minus Cortana and Spartan (I'm in Aus), but now my laptop won't shut down.

Could it be drivers? Is it OS interference? Is there a way to fix it without uninstalling and re installing Win 10? I really cbf going through all that again...

Installation :: Stuck In Suspend Mode - Computer Would Turn Off And On Again Multiple Times

Aug 9, 2015

I started my windows 10 update around 10:00 last night. For awhile it seemed stuck in suspend mode (black screen, monitor light orange, computer light still on etc) and I was worried but eventually I got the update screen and it went from 30% to 56% in around 30 minutes or so.The bottom screen said my computer would turn off and on again multiple times. But then later it went back to the "suspend mode" again right before I fell asleep and now 9 hours later it's still stuck like this!! No update screen no nothing. Just sitting is a suspend mode (I think!) And not allowing me to do anything.

Does the new Maps app being built for the phone and PC features voice turn-by-turn navigation? I know the current Maps app does not. You need to use Here Drive or another third party app for voice navigation.

How To Uninstall Old Device Drivers

Aug 4, 2015

The normal uninstall of old drivers in Device Manager isn't working. I am trying to update my Intel 7260AC Wi-Fi adapter to the latest Windows 10 drivers (18.12 from Intel's website). They won't install. The .exe runs but the drivers don't change and the new drivers aren't even listed in device manager to select. I can only select between two older driver versions that were once used under Win 8.1 (I upgraded).

When I try to uninstall the device, the check box to uninstall software isn't available. The device will uninstall but simply comes back with one of those two drivers. Is there another way to permanently remove them (e.g. where does Windows store driver software including registry entries). I would like to simply get rid of anything and try to get 18.12 drivers to install...I'm thinking they are somehow conflicting and preventing the install.

Can't Uninstall Paragon HFS Explorer

Sep 26, 2015

I've tried uninstalling through Windows and Ccleaner and it looks like it's uninstalled but when I open the uninstall utility (both Windows and Ccleaner) up again Paragon HFS Explorer is back on the list. There are no folders or files for it anywhere in my program files but it magically appears under installed programs.

This is a problem since when I try to install the new version it says it's already installed. So the old version is not there or working and I can't can't install a new version either since Windows thinks the old version is there still for some reason.
