  Turn back on your Software Protection…It is located in Services, open task manager if you have windows 7 go to services tab you’ll see at the far right bottom corner is another button named services hit it now find the Software Protection service start it up and also set it to (Automatic) Delayed Start. It is the safest option for that service. Hope that helps
