Windows Defender Nag Screen After Windows Update

grayghost2

To day I manually updated Windows 7. Bypassed optional updates. No selective updates

With every reboot and cold boot -- I get the Windows Defender nag

How do I stop this nag screen recurring? :blink:

So far I have done a Bitdefender Repair. With no luck at resolving my problem

Would appreciate any help

try the following:

open services.msc and disable the windows defender service.

then you need to check there are no startup entries for the defender GUI(msascui.exe).

ccleaner has the ability to disable or delete entries such as this without putting windows into diagnostic startup mode like msconfig does when you start unticking things.

Thank you 'antikythera' for your response.

Spot on solution

Two of my PCs have been "sick" with the Windows Defender "nag" for too long

One of them since April 2013 ... 5 months ... with no solutions from any quarters

After "services.msc" then CCleaner then reboot. Perfect!

I have used CCleaner for years but only to clean dead files/registry items etc.

Yours in grovelling gratitude ... my hero !!
