Vista Tutorial - Defender Failed 0x800106ba-0x80092003

Hello,

But I believe that this just by-passes the problem by turning off Defender. It doesn't really resolve the problem with Defender. I have this same problem running Vista 32 bit Home Premium so it doesn't seem to be related to the 64-bit platform.

Every solution I try doesn't work for me for some reason. Can anyone help please? I'm very frustrated for this has wasted so much of my time...

I was getting both codes and this did the trick!!! I no longer receiver either code and my computer is running pretty great.....(knock wood!). Thank you!!

this is NOT a solution!!!
when u do this, windows defender will NOT start-up when u boost up your pc!!!! but it's still not working. the only thing that happend is you don't get an error message. but when u wish to start up windows defender, you get the same error. and u need windows defender!!!

here is an thing that works:

1. go to control panel
2. click on System and Maintenance and then click Administrative Tools
3. select Service
4. scroll down to windows defender and double click it.
5. set it to start automatic when pc boost up
6. click the start service (or something) button and wait a second
7. click on apply and restart your pc

this should work, becouse it does for me... sorry for my bad english, becouse i'm dutch
for the site i used: My computer did what!: 0x800106ba Windows Defender error in Windows Vista

Thanks mvgrate and xxxmarienxxx! Your suggestions together solved my in that the error message no longer appears and Defender is running.

Thanks so much that was a perfect fix!

Hello,

To be brief,

I solved the problem by:

In msconfig as well as in services Defender must be start up automaticly.

Thanx alot bongodrumm it completely WORKED... I have been working on this all day long....UGH!! i followed your instructions i clicked start, and in the search box typed " services ", and checked to see if windows defender was set to automatic and it wasn't so i changed it to automatic and IT WORKED!!! WOW.... You're a life saver!!! Thanx a billion!!

Follow the path
Control Panel->Administrative tools->Services
then locate WD and double click it, select "startup type" as automatic, then click "log on" tab, click "Local System account" and check the only check box available.
Click the "recovery" tab and make sure WD tries atleast two time to start, you can understand from the information you see there.
Now, click the "General" Tab and clikc "start"

Close the window.

Now locate the file Windows Defender in Control Panel and double click it.
It should start now!


After executing the following instructions the error was no longer displayed on startup, however, the error 0x800106ba still occurred when attempting to manually start the Windows Defender.
1. Click start
2. Type Run MsConfig
3. On the System Config Window Click on the Services Tag
4. Click on the "hide all Microsoft Services" option.
5. Click on the Start Up Tab at the top.
6. Scroll down to the Windows Defender box and Uncheck it.
7. Go back to the Services Tab and Uncheck "hide all Microsoft Services".
8. Click on Apply, and OK.
9. Restart Computer

Found and followed the steps below and they seemed worked for me. Did not encounter the error on startup and I was able to manually start Windows Defender:
1. Select Control Panel->Administrative tools->Services.
2. Locate Windows Defender and double click on it.
3. Select "Startup Type" as Automatic,
4. Click "Log On" tab and select "Local System Account" and check the checkbox.
5. Click the "Recovery" tab and make sure Windows Defender performs at least two restarts.
6. Click the "General" Tab and select "Start" to start the service.
7. Click "OK" to close the window.
8. Locate the file Windows Defender in Control Panel and double click it. It should start now!
