Thanks Shane I did it all and I can find it under on services but when I find it and try to turn it on (while Windows Security Essentials is on...) should it be giving me this? is this normal... aside from that my computer is now lightning fast!

I also get this, is it because Windows Security Essentials has disabled it?

Extract the zip file, run the reg file and then reboot

Let me know if the reg file gives an error when you do.

Shane

It worked for a couple of seconds that I had it opened then it stopped and I tried starting it again and got that error

Try running this. It is called autoruns.

You don't have to install it. Just run it, click on services tab and see if windows defender is listed there, this should at least let you know if the service is still present. Don't uncheck anything in this program unless you know what your doing, in fact before you run it, create a restore point! LOL! This little utility will show you almost everything running. It should look like my attachment. You can also see what drivers are running or not and a whole host of other process's.

Chris

This will just show me if its running or not? it doesn't show up in services on my computer lol

I think that Microsoft Security Essentials is designed to disable Windows Defender in win 7, but that doesn't explain why it doesn't work.

Have you search for virus or malware?

Have you tried step 1, 2 and 3 in Windows repair?

Tomas

Yes I searched with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Charter Security Suite, Windows Fixit, and the list goes on.. and yeah I did the step 1,2,3 in windows repair thats how I got the windows fire wall up and running, but it didn't affect the Windows defender for some reason

I have Windows 7, and my Windows Defender doesn't even show up under services, I can only find it under search and I can only open it, heres screen shots, by the way it doesn't let me uninstall it to reinstall it... if only I could repair it but its no where to be found in programs

I had those error codes 0x80070424 & error code 0x6D9, so I spent the whole day trying to fix it exhausting every possible way of trying to, I came across and used your Windows Repair and my Windows Fire Wall works now! but my Windows Defender stayed the same so I improvised and got Windows Security Essentials.... but I'm still hoping Windows Defender can be fixed as well
