| Guest | Windows Defender Failed to Initialize Running Vista Home Premium. When starting the OS, I get an error message from Windows Defender: "Application failed to initialize: 0x800106ba. A problem caused Windows Defender service to stop. To start the service, restart your computer or search Help and Support on how to start the service manually." Attempting to manually start the service brought up another error: "Windows could not start the Windows Defender service on Local Computer. Error 0x80092003: An error occurred while reading or writing to a file." I have uninstalled my third-party (McAfee) security suite so Defender is all I have on this machine. I found similar reports on various newsgroups but no solution, workaround or fix offered. Any suggestions? --Nevet |

| Guest | RE: Windows Defender Failed to Initialize Thanks, Engel! This looked right, but doesn’t seem to apply to Vista. Running appwiz.cpl, Windows Defender doesn't even show up on the list of installed Program and Features, nor under Windows features to turn on or off. It is also not listed in the Windows Installer CleanUp utility (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/). And when I try to reinstall from http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...yware/software, as the KB article instructs, I get the message “You do not need to install this software because Windows Defender is included in Windows Vista. You can access Windows Defender from the Security section of the Windows Control Panel.” Windows Security Center shows (under “Malware protection”) that Windows Defender is turned off. “Turn on now” churns for a while, then says, “Security Center can’t turn on Windows Defender. Please try again later.” Any other ideas?

| Guest | Re: Windows Defender Failed to Initialize Hi Nevet. You might try this. Go to the main Windows Update window and click on "Installed Updates" (on the left-hand side of the window, at the bottom), and then remove "Update for Microsoft Windows (KB931099)" (only). Reboot. Reboot again. Go back to Windows Update, and re-install the same update, by clicking on the Check for Updates button. This should essentially re-install Windows Defender on Vista.

| Guest | Re: Windows Defender Failed to Initialize You could try this. Go to Control Panel (Classic View) > Windows Update. Click on Change Settings. Choose "Never check for updates (not recommended)". Un-check the box under "Recommended updates". Click on Okay. Close Windows Update. Go to Control Panel (Classic View) > Windows Firewall. Click on Change Settings. Choose "Off (not recommended)". (Apply, OK). Close Windows Firewall. Try starting Windows Defender (Start Menu\Programs). If it starts, click on the down-arrow to the right of the Help icon, and choose "Check for updates". Let Defender check and download the update. If Defender does not open, or if it opens, but doesn't download the update, go to http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/ Under "Latest Definition Updates", choose your operating system type, 32-bit or 64-bit, and try the manual download. Note here the instructions pertinent to Vista: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/ADL.aspx#top Hoping this works, but either way, re-enable Windows Firewall and put your Windows Update settings back the way they were.
