Ramhound suggested this question Windows Security Center service can't be started It is actually windows 7 and i'm on windows 10, though I can apply an answer there, here. When I do I get an error.

Going to services.msc , Security Center, properties, Automatic (delayed start)

You need to verify that the following services are configured to Automatic (delayed start) and are running.

  • Security Center
  • Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
  • Windows Management Instrumentation
