Fixing "0x800106ba" Vista Windows Defender
-
Friday, May 02, 2008 6:18 AMNot really a fix, but how to manually start Windows Defender (WD) when it will not start automatically with windows and rather poops! (pops) up a windows with error "0x800106ba" blah blah blah.
Follow the path
Control Panel->Administrative tools->Services
then locate WD and double click it, select "startup type" as automatic, then click "log on" tab, click "Local System account" and check the only check box available.
Click the "recovery" tab and make sure WD tries atleast two time to start, you can understand from the information you see there.
Now, click the "General" Tab and clikc "start"
Close the window.
Now locate the file Windows Defender in Control Panel and double click it.
It should start now!

Dear Wajih,
You made my day. This fixed my Vista trouble with the Windows Defender 0x800106ba. I thought I knew a bit about the computer, but this trouble humbled me. I would have never thought to look in the Administrative Tools. Thank you so much. I think it's interesting and maybe a bit troubling in my mind why this fix isn't listed in the Knowledge Base, that is unless of course I did something wrong. All that's in there is Windows XP, not Vista.
Yours truly,

Tuesday, March 03, 2009 4:38 PMStill not working for me...
When i start the service i get the error: 0x80092003
Anyone who has the solution for my problem?
I still don't get why microsoft still does nothing about this problem. When i read forums on the internet searching for an answer for the problem, i found that a lot of people with vista has this problem but microsoft only gives a solution for XP. i think that they don't even know what to do or they are just thinking about money and new clients and not thinking about there clients they have...:(

Monday, March 09, 2009 9:36 PMI used the following KB as a basis (which only works for 2003 and below) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931849. I modified step three as follows and it resolved the issue for me:
regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wucltux.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wuwebv.dll
regsvr32 atl.dll
regsvr32 softpub.dll
regsvr32 wintrust.dll
regsvr32 mssip32.dll -
Friday, March 13, 2009 3:15 PMHi,
I'm running vista business 32 bit. In my case defender got broken by uninstalling forefront security client. The errors are caused by missing registry keys and files in %programData%\Microsoft\windows defender.
I have fixed it by doing the following:
Backup from another vista with defender running. Backup these registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinDefend
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender
Then copy to local drive in the broken vista all files in %programData%\microsoft\windows defender. Once copied replaced them to %programData%\microsoft\windows defender in the broken vista (do it like this as the process requires elevation and hence you will not be able to copy from a network location). The files there should be something like 34MB.
I'm pasting the registry backup for reference, but if the files in %programData% are missing (the definition updates) defender won't work.
If you accidentally removed the executables from %programFiles% copy them to the correct folder and then use regsvr32 to register them all. If the files are there you don't need to do this.
Good luck,
Mariano.

Monday, May 11, 2009 11:56 AMNo problem Debra, enjoy the fix. Really, it was very difficult to track down the error when I did it, so once I had fixed it, I simple posted the fix so that other people could benefit from fix and would avoid the hectic task of finding a self fix. But see! you still tried for 3 days!!!!!!!
Anyway, thanks and have a nice day

Not really a fix, but how to manually start Windows Defender (WD) when it will not start automatically with windows and rather poops! (pops) up a windows with error "0x800106ba" blah blah blah.
Follow the path
Control Panel->Administrative tools->Services
then locate WD and double click it, select "startup type" as automatic, then click "log on" tab, click "Local System account" and check the only check box available.
Click the "recovery" tab and make sure WD tries atleast two time to start, you can understand from the information you see there.
Now, click the "General" Tab and clikc "start"
Close the window.
Now locate the file Windows Defender in Control Panel and double click it.
It should start now!

Thursday, August 20, 2009 4:30 AMHere also is another Super-Easy fix....probably a bit easier, faster:
1. Go to windows: Run
2. type "msconfig"
4. Go to the "startup" tab
5. Windows defender will be on the list with a check in it's box. uncheck windows defender (unchecking will take it off the list of disabled programs at startup)
7. Click "apply"
8. Click "okay"
9. you will be prompted to restart for changes to take effect-restart
And............
10. No more problem!!!!!!!!!!! -

Wednesday, September 16, 2009 5:16 AM Hi
Good post. Coulpe of days back I got the same issue. Application Failed to Initialize: 0x800106ba. It is related to windows defender. But, unfortunately all the fix is manual.
Which means, everytime teh computer reboots we have to manually start the windows defender. After troubleshoot more than 2 hours, i found a simple fix. The fix is true only if following conditions are true.
1: Application fails to initialize: 0x800106ba pops up on every restart.
2: u can start the windows defender after successfully starting the WINDEFEND service i.e. Net Start Windefend in command prompt window.
Fix : By Default, The startup type "Windefend" service is is manual. Just Make it Automatic , and restart the computer. Bingo, taht should do the trick.

I had the same problem 0x800106ba with Vista64 bit. After I search for answer I combined two people’s suggestions and got the following solution.
Step 1:
1. Click start
2. Type Run MsConfig
3. On the System Config Window Click on the Services Tag
4. Click on the "hide all Microsoft Services" option.
5. Click on the Start Up Tab at the top.
6. Scroll down to the Windows Defender box and Uncheck it.
7. Go back to the Services Tab and Uncheck "hide all Microsoft Services".
8. Click on Apply, and OK.
9. Restart ComputerStep 2:
1 Go to control Panel and click on Administrative tools.
2 Click on services and a new windows will appear.
3 Look up for windows defender and right click on it, click on properties and select automatic, it should be on manual, change it to automatic and click apply then o.k. and will take you back to the services windows.
4 Windows Defender should be highlighted and on the left hand side of the services windows, should be 2 links, click restart.Step 3:
1. Click start
2. Type Run MsConfig
3. On the System Config Window Click on the Services Tag
4. Click on the "hide all Microsoft Services" option.
5. Click on the Start Up Tab at the top.
6. Scroll down to the Windows Defender box and check it.
7. Go back to the Services Tab and Uncheck "hide all Microsoft Services".
8. Click on Apply, and OK.
9. Restart ComputerThose three steps should fix 0x800106ba with Vista64.

Remove "Update for Microsoft Windows KB931099"
Reboot the computer twice
Go back to Windows Update, and re-install the same update, by clicking on

Hi North....
Have u installed Microsoft Security Essentials??
Coz MSE disables Windows Defender upon installation.
-
Tuesday, July 06, 2010 11:34 PM
Hi, Ramesh,
Yes, I hv MSE installed recently. -
Wednesday, July 07, 2010 4:39 PM
Hi North....
In addition to antivirus, MSSE includes all the antispyware functionality which was in Windows Defender. On Vista, the MSSE installer will automatically disable Defender upon installation.. This is not a software glitch, but its by design.
Since in Vista, Windows Defender is a built in component. It can be only disabled but cannot be removed.
Hope that answers your query. :)

Wednesday, July 07, 2010 8:47 PM
Hi, Ramesh,
I guess I'll have to remove MSE in order for WD to work.Thank you.
-
Monday, July 26, 2010 2:05 PM
I recommend you keep MSE. As mentioned, it serves the same function as WD, but also has more protective features (anti-virus, etc).
Microsoft, talk about annoying! I've been searching all morning, only to find that Windows Defender is SUPPOSED to be off. I thought a virus had disabled.

I also tried to redownload it, but I got the message that the Windows Defender is already installed on my computer. I do have the Windows Essentials, and my computer is a Vista.
Could you please help?

Saturday, July 16, 2011 12:56 AM
Hi Catherine, you said..
I don't see any WD tab in my administrative tools---- services. What should I do?
Yes, I've the same problem here due to putting the Admin tools into my own folders, if you can get to Computer Management - you can get to Services; try to run mmc.exe - ie type mmc into the search bar at the Start button.
Alternatively go into the path; "C:\Windows\winsxs" and search the snapins from the subfolders there for files named *.msc ;; there's dozens of them there including perfmon.msc and services.msc taskschd.msc secpol.msc etc..
once found - right click on them and run them as Administrator.

Hi WajihUllahBaig, you said..
Your best chance would be to search for its exe in windows folders.
Ahh, I see now my last message was both overkill and doesn't answer the question either. 8-)
So some other possibly more helpful points now follow:
Check processes running from task Manager for the file MSASCui.exe (defender Interface) on the path "C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MSASCui.exe"
If it's running go to that path and create a shortcut for defender from it..
If it's NOT running - go to the same path and both create shortcut and also Run the shortcut/or the MSASCui.exe
Regards, pkn2011
-
Saturday, August 06, 2011 4:05 AM
Hi Ramesh, you said.. 'MSE disables Windows Defender upon installation'
Well I'd have to disagree with this statement. MSE and defender are really one in the same. Defender is the front end - and handles some of the background activities, while MSE contains the Defender processes and more.
The defender EXE - MSASCUI.exe you can see from the letters is Microsoft's Advanced Security Centre User Interface - or thereabouts; you can't have one without the other IMO - in either Vista or in Win7 etc..
And Wajih, please - how many thank you messages for thank yous can be left for you to write? ;-)
Thanks to ALL collectively. Regards, pkn

Tuesday, February 19, 2013 7:59 AMPlease everyone don't do what I did, and that was to spend a lot of time trying to do this when it wasn't necessary. You will get the 0x800106ba error if Microsoft Security Essentials is running on your machine - it disables Defender, as Defender is no longer needed. Danger of running "old" software I guess?
Thanks Wajih btw - this was the only intelligent response I could find, even though it wasn't the one for me ;).
