WIndows defender in not in service

[mariomagdi]

My windows defender is not even included in services.msc.. i downloaded something to add it in the control panel after its sudden deletion.. but it didnt work... for windows 10 pro Any suggestions ? thanks

Have you installed or attempted installation of another AV ?

 

[mariomagdi]

Well yes i tried to install avg.. but i read later that i must uninstall it and i did..
Then i updated mtj windows defender, then idk what happend but it just shut off again and when i press start again it simply says that its not in service.. i check services.msc but its gone from there.. later on i start having some black windows (command windows i guess) that disappear when i start my pc.
My wind 10 pro has expired like a week ago.. could this be the reason ?

Installing 3rd party AV disables WD and if you didn't use their program for uninstalling it, it may not return everything to normal.

I did what u say but it didn’t actually work..
Error 0x80070424 service is not installed..
Still the same :/

You may have to reinstall AVG for that to work properly, also run it as administrator.
also run system checks:
Command prompt (Admin)
sfc /scannow
and
dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup /ResetBase

SO I install it.. run the cleaner as adm to re uninstall?

 

[CountMike]

Yes, should have used it in first place. Also run those two system checks/repairs.

Uhm cuz i also installed bitdefender and avast and i uninstalled them.. am i gonna do the same for those too?

Also i used kmspico and i believe that started all.. any ideas?

 

[CountMike]

Yes, both of those have own uninstaller programs. AVs are bad that way because they dig deep into OS and change a lot of things.

 

[mariomagdi]

So the firsy check says that files were corrupted and unable to fix some of them.. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Log\CBS\CBS.log. Note that logging is currently not supported in offline servicing senarios..

Trying the sec technique now

 

[mariomagdi]

It said successfully completed.. what now ? :/

 

[CountMike]

Is WD working now ? You may have to repeat sfc /scannow several times with restarts in between until it's clear.

 

[mariomagdi]

IT Is not working.. i didnt see ur replly.. i will try to reput the command and restart okay

 

[mariomagdi]

IT TELls me the same.. wd doesnt work..
My pc is getting slower and slower i have to scan it.. what should i do....

 

[CountMike]

If you think that it's slowing because of malware, try Eset online scanner first: https://www.eset.com/int/home/online-scanner/

 

[mariomagdi]

STILL slow.. do u know any programs or online sites maybe that can remove the trash irrelevent files on the C ? It says it has nly 5gb space of 100..

You could start with windows' own Disk cleanup.
Disk properties > Disk cleanup > Clean system files
Revo Uninstaller https://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html to cleanly uninstall unneeded programs.
PC Decrapifier https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/pc_de_crapifier.html
Uncleaner https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/uncleaner.html for additional fine cleaning.
AdwCleaner (adware) https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/
