Windows 10: After uninstalling software, there are keys in the "Security Center" of the registry...

I can not delete these keys. I can not change the permissions for these keys. Other keys I can delete. When I choose to uninstall software, I should be allowed to delete ALL keys if I choose. Does anyone know how to delete such keys? This is just another example of Microsoft's arrogance... they know what the world needs and they are going to give it to us whether we like it or not. You need to listen to your customers!

windows defender & security center services keep turning off


Are you running any other AV or did you have one running in the past? If you didn't use an uninstaller for the AV, then the remnants of it could be causing the problem. Normally any time you install an AV it disables Defender by default.

If you are getting any error codes please list those, that will be helpful in helping you.

As torre suggested, might be a good idea to do a reset or even a reinstall.

Hi Bat,

I'm Sumit, here to answer your query at the Microsoft Community.

The app needs to be programmed in that way so that it removes everything, including Registry contents. Some developers keep certain items like configurations in the Registry so that if you reinstall the Software later, the Settings are restored.

That said, editing items in the registry is not a good idea. I recommend leaving the keys as it is.

Hope that helps, and rely on us for any further inquiries. All the best.
