Set MBAMservice to Automatic (Delayed Start)

[AdvancedSetup]

Please change the MBAMService to Automatic (Delayed Start)

Here are a couple different ways you can change it. You only need to change it once with any one of these methods.

From an elevated Admin command prompt you can copy/paste or type in the following to make the change.
[Note: You need a space after the = sign for the SC method to work properly]

sc config MBAMService start= delayed-auto

You can type on the Start Menu - services.msc

Then scroll down until you find the Malwarebytes Service and double-click to open it and change the Startup type: to Automatic (Delayed Start)


 

 

It is possible to change it in the Registry as well, but highly recommend doing it via one of the methods above.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MBAMService
DelayedAutostart|1
Start|2
