Windows Security Not Working
This started a few days ago & I have not been able to fix it.
I have 2 accounts on this computer:
1. Local Administrator - which is rarely used
2. Local Standard - which is regularly used
Whether I use the Start Menu icon, the Taskbar icon, Control Panel or the Settings App; Windows Security just will not open.
1. Using the Administrator account, Windows Security brings up a full blank blue screen, then closes w/in 2 seconds.
2. Using the Standard account, Windows Security does nothing at all.
I do get this message sometimes:
I've tried the 'Enable Windows Security for All Users' registry setting (Enable or Disable Windows Security in Windows 10) & although it does import & stays after a reboot, Windows Security still will not open.
I checked Services & see:
Security Center - Running - Automatic (Delayed Start)
Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection Service - ___ - Manual
Windows Defender Firewall - Running - Automatic
Windows Security Service - Running - Automatic
Does anyone have any advice for me to get Windows Security working correctly again?
