I've been sporadically getting the following pop-up when my computer starts:

Windows Defender
Application failed to initialize: 0x80010005

It happened again today after I d/l a Windows update for Windows Defender,
coincidentally.
Anyone have ideas?

Thanks,
Walter

I believe that there is a patch out for Windows Defender which corrects
quite a few errors. Post your question in one of the newsgroups
specifically set up for that program. This is not one of them.
