    You could try this:

    Right-click Command Prompt (in Start Menu\Programs\Accessories) and choose
    Run as Administrator. Type (or Copy and Paste) the following commªnd:

    winmgmt /verifyrepository

    Press Enter. If the system returns "WMI repository is not consistent", type
    this commªnd:

    winmgmt /salvagerepository

    Press Enter. The first time you run this it will fail. (It will issue stop
    commands to the services causing it to fail, saying, "A stop control has been
    sent to a service that other running services are dependent on"). It might
    take a couple minutes for the services to shut dºwn.

    Run the last command again. You may have to run it 3 times before it finally
    runs and completes on its ºwn.

    I have the same problem, but instead of having AVG, I installed avast!. For a
    few weeks it worked fine. But now in security center appears that i dont have
    an anti virus and windows defender appears to be off and if I try to tur on
    windows defenders all it does is check for updates.

    I tried the solution you posted but the problem it still there.
