Good day. I am constantly getting a pop-up on startup of my laptop telling me that Windows Security Center is turned off and to click on that pop-up to turn it on. It brings up a window with a button that says "Turn On." When I click it, a dialogue box pops up that says "The Security Center Service can't be started." I have antivirus and anti-spyware programs installed on my laptop, so I don't really know what to do.
Windows Firewall, Windows Defender, and Windows Update all work perfectly, but the security center will not even try to function.
I tried to manually enable it in services...it shows the status as being automatic...however, when i try to start it. I get an error message:"Access violation at address 77BA7036. Read of address 00200068".
When i look at the log for SpyBot..it says this:
