Security Centre Stopped?

Can anyone help, i havnt been getting windows updates. Opened security centre and there is a message at the top that says security centre is not available because it has not been started or has been stopped. It then says to restart computer, have tried this but no joy. Can someone please tell me where to start it again.

    Click start then run, then services.msc, and find security center, and click start - see if it kicks into life. Do you have any virus symptoms?
  • Thanks for that posted, cured it straight away. No I dont have any virus symptoms and scan every week with avast, malwarebytes and sas.

    Make sure the startup type is set to automatic, otherwise the change won't survive a reboot.
