One of the first things I did after installing Windows 10 (AMD64) was to run O&O ShutUp 10. I made sure all privacy options were enabled (i.e. greened out) except the 'Use Windows Defender' option, since I like and use Windows Defender. Now when I try to start Windows Security Centre the mouse pointer flickers and spins in a most annoying (and alarming) way. The pointer does respond to mouse movements but Security Centre fails to start and I need to log out to get everything back to normal. I want to continue to use both ShutUp 10 and Defender, as they both fulfill certain requirements for me. Anyone have any ideas what's going on?

So, you forcibly modified substantial portions of Windows in ways you're not super familiar with, and are now wondering why it's not working correctly? It's a known fact that ShutUp works rather "permanently". The solution to errors caused by the program doing things you don't want it to is to reinstall Windows: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/do-you-trust-of-o-o-shutup10.390552/ – music2myear Mar 28 '18 at 23:57

This is specific to Security Center, while is related to Windows Defender, whichremains enabled. – Guy Mann Mar 29 '18 at 00:00

I do believe the answer revealed itself. Poking around—of all things—the notification icons showed an outstanding Windows Defender notification. Security Center opened normally after that. It looks like the beta-ish quality of Windows 10 is to blame, not any extraneous programs that I thought were. – Guy Mann Mar 29 '18 at 01:09
