Every time I go to open the Windows Firewall, it'll open for about 2 to 3 seconds then it closes by itself. It's a real pain when your trying to block/unblock a program. Same thing when I open Windows Defender too.
Whether I open them from the Control Panel or Security Center.
Anyone else experience this?
or
Know of a fix for it?

I checked the Event Viewer and there's nothing in there relating to either of them.
I looked on the net and can't seem to find anything about it either, unless I'm overlooking it or something.

TIA
 
Check for malware. What you describe is seen a lot when the pc has caught a nasty of some type.
 
Spybot came up clean, HiJack This isn't showing anything I don't know about. This is really stumping me.

OK here's something that makes it more strange, if I open Task Manager, and then open either one, they stay open, but soon as I close Task Manager they close.
They also function fine when Task Manager is open.
