Windows Security Center service cannot start
-
jeudi 10 décembre 2009 17:30I am running Windows 7 Ultimate. I have never had any issues with viruses or spyware on this machine. I have MSE installed and active. I keep getting a notification in the Action Center that the "Windows Security Center service is turned off". When I click the button to turn it on, nothing happens. I located the Security Center service and when I try to start it, it says "Windows could not start the Security Center service on Local Computer", and below that "Error5: Access Denied". The service is running under the 'Local Service' user, I tried changing it to Local System Account, but got a different error, so I assume Local Service is correct. What could be causing this? I am logged in as a domain admin, and I have full control.

jeudi 10 décembre 2009 20:38 type in the search box : services.msc and press enter (it must be performed in the administrator account or run the Services.msc as admin)
then look for safety center something like that and double click on it and look if its set to : start automatically(delayed) if not then choose this option and press start right below that option..
hope this helps,

mardi 2 février 2010 21:22Have you tried scanning your system of Spyware irregardless of your current solution finding any spyware? Try using Super Anti-Spyware or Malwarebytes . It is good practice to run multiple scans from multiple solutions.

mercredi 3 février 2010 20:12Hello Karl,
Have you checked the "Dependencies" tab?
You should have:
-Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
- DCOM Server Process Launcher
- RPC Endpoint Mapper
-Windows Management Instrumentation
- Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
- DCOM Server Process Launcher
- RPC Endpoint Mapper
Check to see if you have these services started as well.
The path to the executable is:
C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe -k LocalServiceNetworkRestricted
And yes it runs under Local Service.
Aside from that I'll watch for a fix for you.
Regards,

jeudi 4 février 2010 14:21 William - Those dependencies are are there, are the services are started. Thanks.
Tim - As much as I would like to think this is just a simple virus or malware issue, its not. My PC is completely clean of anything like that.- Proposé comme réponse Testtubebaby dimanche 9 mai 2010 00:29

dimanche 9 mai 2010 00:30If you havent figured it out yet. Set it to auto, not delayed start.
-
lundi 10 mai 2010 13:24Well, my hard drive crashed last month, and since rebuilding the PC this issue no longer exists. I just checked the service, and it is still set to 'delayed start', however I don't get the error like before. So perhaps an OS reinstall was in order? Can't verify that setting it to auto is the fix since I no longer experience the issue.
-
mercredi 7 juillet 2010 04:03Thanks for the help. I had same problem when I picked up malware. After cleaning it wouldn't start. I followed this procedure and it was disabled. I changed to delayed start and it worked when I turned it on. TY TY TY

mardi 2 novembre 2010 17:28I've had this problem for over a week now and have tried all of the above but still unable to start security center. I sometimes get error 1079. And answer to someone above I believe it should be set to auto delayed to allow the dependencies to start first. Shame I can't do it myself.

dimanche 21 novembre 2010 14:05I have tried all of these, and I really hesitate to wipe and reload, everything else is working fine. I even ran sfcscannow in attempts to repair the files/dependencies but still the red x. Again, no virus (using MSE and SAS) and system is clean and has been. Have a feeling it is some registry entry or maybe a "microsoft fix-it" could rectify this problem without having to invest in reloading... still open to suggestions...

I got frustrated with again yesterday, and did more digging and more people are frustrated by this than before... which means there are more solutions and suggestsions. One that WORKED for me FINALLY was this one:
http://windowsxp.mvps.org/wscsvcfix.htm
I realize that the error code may not be the same, the os may not be the same, but all I know is that I ran this, and no more red x notification with Win 7 Ultmate Security Center notice...

type in the search box : services.msc and press enter (it must be performed in the administrator account or run the Services.msc as admin)
Only thing you left out is.. one you go to run and type in services.mrs and press enter. i didn't see the setting to do this.. till I looked at the bottom and saw two tabs. (Extended and Standard) click on the standard tab and scroll down till u see Security Center.. not safety center..lol. and double click on that and set it to automatic with no delay, then hit the start button right under where u set to automatic. .. Thanks for the guidance to solving my problem! Hope this with help others like it helped me!
then look for safety center something like that and double click on it and look if its set to : start automatically(delayed) if not then choose this option and press start right below that option..
hope this helps,

I had the same problem and all my virus trojan scans came out clean....Microsoft Security Essentials wouldn't start and by chance I installed avg which found the cause of my problem a virus/trojan called rundll.exe it quarantined it and everything is perfect ( It would even remove all my restore points)
Hope this helps :-)

Even i have the same problem... issue I ve been facing is a big story....
I had connected my external HDD to my laptop and unaware of the presence of DANGEROUS trojan..which eventually got into my laptop and was stored in my temp folder with DHWPCXXX name..
I am running symantec antivirus and it used to prompt every now and then about the virus...it used to say quarantined and then i used to delete it. However, the virus keeps coming back and some times i used to get around 300 notifications of all DHWPCXXXX trojans from my temp folder.
After going through lots of microsoft forums , i have tried the Malware bytes, Super anti malware , super spyware...cleaned the registries and tried all the possible options .
NO LUCK...so as per on of the solutions giving online..i tried to delete all the DHWPCXXXX files in my TEMP folder manually. Then started my actual problem.... :(
MY WINDOWS SECURITY SERVICE CENTER WILL NOT STARTUP AUTOMATICALLY AND IS GETTING DISABLED BY ITSELF... I TRIED TO RESET TO AUTOMATIC SOME MILLION TIMES BUT IT GETS DISABLED AUTOMATICALLY... SOME THING IS CONTROLLING THE SECURITY ACCOUNT AND DISABLING THE SERVICE.
Please some one from here, who had similar problem help me out....do we have a fix for this any solution which i can try out!!!!
This Virus has disabled my:
- Windows Update Service
- System Restore
- Windows Security Service
and I am not even sure how many services are disabled by this annoying trojan.
PLEASE FIX THIS..
thanks a million!!

Hey,
I am having the same problem. I noticed that the dependencies that you indicated here are not available in the dependencies tab.
The question is how can I add these dependencies here?
And the path to the executable is also a little bit different
C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs
how can I change this one?

mardi 22 février 2011 07:43I now have the same problem. "Windows Security Center Service can't be started". Tried all the options - Automatic, Automtic (delay) and Manual options. I get an error 1084. If there is a fix, I will really appreciate it.

vendredi 25 février 2011 21:07i had this same problem. its a virus. download avast antivirus free edition and do a boot scan. it will find the virus. then you have to type Services.msc into the start menu, find the security center, turn it on to automatic. then turn on windows security essentials if you have that. avast is the only virus program that was able to detect it and get rid of it. hope this helps :)

well im running windows 7 ultimate and there is no "security center" or any variant even in the services.msc
is it different, or has it been somehow removed. i am currently getting pop ups via a fake antivirus (unsure which virus this is)
scans yield nothing, malwarebytes found a reg key that was infected cleaned it problem went away for approx 24 hrs. then randomly came back this time nothing found...
security center will not enable
HELP!

Well i have the same problem, i fixed it with the solution to go to Services.msc it worked first time. Now my MSC starts and it closes at the moment he is shown on screen i reinstalled it and ran it from SAFE MODE(when your PC starts tap F8 and chose Safe Mode) i put my PC on scan and it found 7 trojans, Malwarebyts Anti-Malware found same number of malwares and i cleaned my PC so now i'm going restart my PC tap F8 while PC is booting and go to Repair Computer, then Startup Repair and see the results ;)
I'm using Windows 7
and i have problem starting Services.msc when im in Extended Bar:" One or more ActiveX controls could not be displayed because either:
1)Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page OR
2)You have blocked a publisher of one of the controls.
As the result, the page might not display correctly"
EDIT: Whoala, it worked :) and thank to my skill an user Progint and his link(http://windowsxp.mvps.org/wscsvcfix.htm)
It worked..USE SAFE MODE! Wish you luck ;)

I had the same exact problem with the Security Center automatic disabling issue on my XP Home Premium SP3 Dell tower. I too ran complete Malwarebytes and SuperAntispyware scans and cleaned everything found BUT the problem persisted.
ALAS the fix!!! After 2 days of Googling and trying HijackThis and SpyBot here is what worked for me...
You need to first download and install Microsoft Security Essentials and then download the latest MSE updates file separately becauase the virus does NOT allow the updates to MSE to be applied otherwise. In fact, this driver virus will NOT even allow MSE to start!! Once you have the updates applied reboot into Safe Mode and log into the Administrator account (God Mode!!). Then run an MSE scan and it will find and clean-up the bad drivers. The reason all the other tools do NOT work is because the virus is disguised as a Microsoft driver which gets loaded on boot-up BUT MSE is able to detect and clean that!! Once clean in Safe Mode reboot into normal mode and keep running MSE scans until you get a clean scan.
Problem solved!!!
ALAS Sir Malmare!!! You fought valiantly but revenge is SWEET!!!

I have tried many different solutions - and depending on what is affecting the WSC, depends on the fix. For instance, a recent WSC corruption fix was to make sure that Security Center, WMI (under services) both were LOGON with LOCAL SYSTEM ACCOUNT and ALLOW....
This is what fixed it for me after 2 weeks of trying everything...
Respectfully Yours, Derek R. Iannelli-Smith IT Strategist, A+, Network +, Security+ -
vendredi 22 juillet 2011 13:40First, turn on your computer and login as administrator, go to Run command and type "services.msc", look for "Security Center" and double click on it, on startup type choose "Automatic" and on Service status click "start", restart your computer and your Windows Security Center will be enabled again.

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate. I have never had any issues with viruses or spyware on this machine.
- I have MSE installed but something has got it disabled automatically. I suspect it to be a virus or malware.
- I keep getting a notification in the Action Center that the "Windows Security Center service is turned off". When I click the button to turn it on, I get a message that "WIndows Security Center Service can't be started."
- I located the Security Center service under the services.msc and when I try to start it from there it does gets started but within a few seconds it gets disabled again. Next when I again attempt to start the service from services.msc it displayes an Error Code: 1058
- Also the System Restore Utility has been turned off by whatever is causing this problem.
- Untill recently, I used to get an unsusual annoying behaviour in all my web browsers, i.e. whenever I clicked on a link from any search engine, It would redirect me to a series of webpages almost ads, instead of opening the actual link.
The browser trouble seems to be resolved after I used Kaspersky Pure to scan my computer and it found a DLL file named PERFDISKL.DLL under C:\Windows\SysWOW64. The service used to initiate itself whenever I opened a web browser.
I have tried scanning my system multiple times using various anti-virus, anti-malware & anti-spyware, but none of them was a success. The programs that I used to scan are
- MSE in Safe Mode, (latest update file dwnlded and installed separately.)
- Kaspersky PURE
- Malwarebytes Anti-malware
- SpyBot Search & Destroy
- AVG Free 2012
All these softwares are fully updated.
- Also tried the SFCScannow, and everything is fine there.
- Activated the Hidden Administrator account and ran COMBOFIX, but no success.
Please help me. I don't want to do a fresh install on my laptop.
