Real Time Protection will not turn on

[thefisherman]

Hi,

My real time protection is not staying on. When I attempt to turn it on, it says, "starting" and then turns off again. I downloaded FRST and mb-check and followed the instructions from another related post so here is the zip. If you can tell me how to resolve this issue that would great.

Thank you

I have Malwarebytes Premium 3.4.5. and it is not responding Restore Defaults. I can not turn on Real Time Protection. Please help.

Greetings,

Please do the following:

Please open an administrative command prompt by clicking START and typing services.msc and pressing Enter
In the Services window, scroll down the list until you find Windows Management Instrumentation and double-click on it
Make certain the Startup type: is set to Automatic, and if it isn't, set it to Automatic via the provided drop-down menu then click Apply and click the Start button to start the service.

If that failed or the Windows Management Instrumentation service was not listed, proceed with the following:

Tweaking.com Windows Repair All-in-One

• Download Tweaking.com Windows Repair from here and install it or if you would prefer, you may instead download and extract the portable version from here
• Once installed or extracted, launch Repair_Windows.exe
• Click on the Repairs - Main tab
• Click on the Open Repairs button
• Once it displays the list of repairs, click the checkbox next to All Repairs so that everything listed is UNCHECKED
• Now, click the checkbox next to Repair WMI so that it is checked
• Click on the Start Repairs button at the bottom
• Once it completes, allow it to restart your system
  

Once that's done, see if Malwarebytes now works properly.  If that was not the issue and the Windows Management Instrumentation service is already running normally, then please do the following so that we might take a look at what's going on with your Malwarebytes installation:

1. Download and run the Malwarebytes Support Tool
2. Accept the EULA and click Advanced Options on the main page (not Get Started)
3. Click the Gather Logs button, and once it completes, attach the zip file it creates on your desktop to your next reply
   

Thanks
