Windows 10 Action Center says that both Windows Defender and Webroot SecureAnywhere are turned off. A three-year-old thread describing exactly the same problem was unsatisfactory. The solution proposed by Sserjj does not work; she assumes Windows will ALLOW me to change default startup values of Services, when IT WILL NOT; when attempting to carry out instructions in Step #4, the option is GREYED OUT, meaning I, the ONLY administrator of this computer, do not have GOD’s permission. God, get the Hell off my computer, please.
Sserjj’s assertion that Webroot reports this as the result of a “recent update” illustrates that SOMEBODY is full of half-baked beans. Not only is a three-year-old issue still very much alive and kicking, but the bug has inoculated itself against treatment. That does NOT sound like an update problem. That sounds like an issue that WRSA should be able to clean up—it’s behaving like a VIRUS.
