I am running windows 7 ultimate 64bit. I just replaced my hard drive with a new one after I had a "SMART" alert telling me it was going to fail. I replaced my 1.5TB Seagate drive with a new 2.0TB Seagate drive. I used Seagates disk wizzard to clone my

old drive as it was still running. Everything seemed to work fantastic until I went to manually check for updates. I got a message that says that the service is not running and to restart my computer. After several restarts and no success, I checked in services

and it says it is running. I tried restarting it, no luck. I surfed the net for answers and have come up dry. I ran two fixes from microsoft that did nothing.  I read another forum that said to make sure windows defender is working. I looked and sure enough

it isn't. When I try to turn it on I get this error 0x8e5e0247. I don't know what to do. Please help me!
