It never bothers me.updates and scans automatically and as I said, is a firewall, anti-malware and anti-virus. I use Norton Internet Security to protect my computer and it works flawlessly.

I stopped and restarted all the required services, and set some that weren't automatic to auto. Another suggested a Windows Fix-It Tool for this, and I got the response " service registration is missing or corrupt." Found various remedies for THAT, none of which worked. Of course it's not, I have ESET Smart Security. One of the results for this error code had something to do with Windows Firewall not running. I checked Winver and it says I have v1511 build 10586.14. I finally fixed it, somewhat, by using WSUS Offline, which installed the Visual C++ updates, but not the cumulative one. I tried various remedies I found online, but none worked.
