Windows 10: Windows Security has broken or disabled by AVG

Hi guys This is my first time to post questions in it, If anything wrong please let me know and I will correct next time.My question is how to remove AVG from windows registry because it still somehow prevents windows security to work. I noticed that for name sake prevent windows security and it doesn't open.

windows security center disabled...

windows security center disabled????????

i just installed windows defender on my computer (freshly formated new hard drive about 2 weeks ago) and it would not update because the security center was not running. so i went to msconfig and it was not in the services list so i went to services.msc and it was disabled. so i changed it to automatic and started it. after rebooting it was still running, so i restarted it again and it was disabled again, so i renabled it again. and when i went to the security center in control pannel it looked like this





i had to enable the windows firewall too. but it says that automatic updates are turned off, so i went to change it and it said that it was on...???...???? i did the fast format this time cause i didnt want to wait for 500gb to format *Big Grin and i have noticed a few other quirks mainly my audigy 4 pro software acting funny time to time. do you think that i have a virus or something of that nature? i will put AVG on here tomorrow and maybe adaware. i have never had a virus so i didnt see any need for anti virus and or spyware programs eating up resources. but i am puzzled as to why my services are automatically shutting down...

The reinstallation did work but then I statred having problems with their built in but free version of driver booster. Even though I have the fully paid up PRO AIS, I have to pay extra if I want Driver Booster to work fully - erm NO!

However, it kept telling me that 15 drivers needed updating including my Video software which was brand newly installed the day before.

I complained again and they said reinstall it!!! So I did, same result, 15 drivers that are 'old' - so I uninstalled that section, and left it as a liar!
