I’m using Win10 Home, just recently the Windows auto-update, since then I didn’t see the webroot mini icon on the toolbar, and I cannot run webroot either.

How can I know my computer is protected?

How can I run webroot?

I tried to reinstall but nothing happens

Is Webroot not compatible with the new Windows?

Hello @jerryjerry 

 

Yes Webroot does work on all version of Windows so it would be best to Submit a Support Ticket to find out what happened.

 

Note: When submitting a Support Ticket, Please wait for a response from Support. Putting in another Support Ticket on this problem before Support responses will put your first Support Ticket at the end of the queue, it should be 24 to 48 hours but could take a little longer because of COVID 19.

 

Sorry as most if not all Webroot staff are working from home because of COVID 19.

 

Thanks for your understanding!

Hi Jerry Open Task Manager and look for Webroot processes.

 

Right Click on a empty space in the TaskBar and click on Task Manager and you should see 2 or 4 Webroot Processes?

 

Click on Pictures to see full size.

at the Background processes I saw:
Webroot SecureAnywhere
Webroot SecureAnywhere (32 bit)
Webroot SecureAnywhere Core Service

at the Startup, I saw
Webroot SecureAnywhere

at the Services, I don't see Webroot, may be under different name.

I click on it but nothing happens.

Also I don’t see the mini icon on the bottom toolbar.

This happens after my Windows auto-update.

I have been subscribed to webroot for year, never happens before.

I’m using Win10 Home.

Hello @jerryjerry 

 

With Windows 10 F8 does not work, you have to do it this way:

 

From Settings.

 

  1. Press Windows logo key  + I on your keyboard to open Settings. If that doesn't work, select the Start  button, then select Settings .
  2. Select Update & Security  > Recovery .
    Open Recovery Settings
  3. Under Advanced startup, select Restart now.
  4. After your PC restarts to the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart.
     

     

    Choose an option screen in the Windows Recovery Environment.

     

     

    Troubleshoot screen in the Windows Recovery Environment.

     

     

    Advanced options screen in the Windows Recovery Environment.

     

     

    Startup Settings  screen in the Windows Recovery Environment.

     

  5. After your PC restarts, you'll see a list of options. Select 4 or press F4 to start your PC in Safe Mode. Or if you'll need to use the Internet, select 5 or press F5 for Safe Mode with Networking.

I tried to uninstall, through the commandline or Control Panel, got the message: It is necessary to login as administrator to access this feature.

But I already administrator.

I tried over and over to boot with Safe Mode with no luck, I restarted my computer and hold F8 from the start, the Windows keeps starting normally, cannot go into the Safe Mode.

Tried to reinstall, nothing happens.

What’s going on with webroot?

However when I tried to uninstall webroot, same thing happened, I got the message: It is necessary to login as administrator to access this feature.

I have tried it through commandline and Control Panel: Add or Remove Programs.

So I was unable to uninstall webroot.
