Windows Defender Application failed to initialize: 0×800106ba.

January 5, 2007 at 7:22 pm · Filed under Computer

I have received the following error message on a number of my computers:

Application failed to initialize: 0×800106ba. A problem caused Windows Defender Service To Stop. To start the service, restart your computer or search help and support on how to start a service manually.

Apparently a lot of people are receiving this error as well when they start their computer. It looks like the license has expired for Windows Defender and we are supposed to install the latest version.

How lame is it that it’s not on autoupdate or the error message give a little more help as to the exact nature of the problem with Windows Defender.

    I would delete the currently installed version and then go to Microsoft to get the latest version.
