Guest NewtonBundi Posted November 15, 2019 Posted November 15, 2019 My pc was infected by malware which corrupted the windows registry and I had to do a complete reset to see if I could undo the damage. Ever since the reset, windows update and windows defender services have been removed from the services list and I have to manually type in a code in the cmd to restore the windows update service upon every restart of my pc. The code I type is "sc create wuauserv DisplayName= "Windows Update" binpath= "C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs -p" Start= delayed-auto depend= RpcSs" I also have to delete the registry key "wuauserv" from 'Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv' and import it back again so that it can work. I got this clean registry key from a clean computer I want to try the same for windows defender having obtained a clean registry key but everytime I type the following command in cmd "sc start WinDefend Enable" I get the following error ; StartService: OpenService FAILED 1060: The specified service does not exist as an installed service. Meaning I need to create the service first before I can run it and I don't know the cmd code for doing that. As of now I have no security providers and realtime protection. More... Quote
