) cFosSpeed's driver is causing conflict. What kind of security software do you use? Your system is also trying to stop Windows Defender, if you have another AV, turn it off manually. It might be the cause.

Apps troubleshooter didn't solve the issue


5) Check if: View - Update speed - is set to Normal.

Update speed is set to normal by default

6) cFosSpeed's driver is causing conflict. What kind of security software do you use? Your system is also trying to stop Windows Defender, if you have another AV, turn it off manually. It might be the cause.

I use Avira internet security. windows defender is turned off and I get this window when I'm trying to run it.

I've tried everything above except system restore and refresh windows and couldn't resolve anything


Try to add C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\cfosspeed6.sys to Avira's exception (AV, firewall and etc)

How to add an exception for a blocked application

Otherwise, you will either have to get rid of Avira or cFosSpeed.

By the way, the newest driver for your graphic card:
NVIDIA DRIVERS GeForce 337.88 Driver WHQL

Thank you very much! problem No. 5 and 6 has been solved. Still No. 1,2,3,4 not solved.

Probably a driver's issue as well, since you have an onboard VGA and 8.1 is different from 8.0.
Try to update all your drivers, especially INF driver, Intel Management Engine and VGA driver (Intel).
