What to do if you cannot start the Windows Security Center service

Solution:

Q: The Windows Operations Center pop-up prompts "Unable to start Windows Security Center Service", why does this error tip appear?

A: This error is usually caused by security class protection software installed on our computer. Because some security software has system cleanup and optimization capabilities, it prompts you to turn off unwanted services and so on. Users often find that the security Center service does not start up after optimization and cleanup.

　　Method One: Confirm the settings for the Security Center service.

Use the key combination "win+r" to bring up the Run Command box, type the command services.msc, enter.

If you eject the User Account Control window, allow it to continue.

Locate the Security Center service and double-click it to open the service properties.

On the General tab, select Startup type as automatic, and then tap the Start button under Service status.

Now, would you please confirm that this service can be started?

If service startup still fails, refer to the previous steps to enable Remote PRocedure call (RPC) and the Windows Management instrumentation services.

　　Method Two: Open the service in Safe mode

Press F8 key to enter Safe mode at boot stop.

After entering safe mode, follow the method to start the Security Center service to check for success. If the security Center service can be successfully launched in Safe mode, we can then use a clean boot approach to troubleshoot the conflicting program services.
