Increasingly, you can find posts on the network in which users complain that their Kaspersky is not running in a particular operating system. This is not such a rare occurrence. There may be many reasons for this behavior. And it’s worth correctly identifying the source of the problem in order to return the antivirus to working. Do not be afraid, the situation is most often easy to eliminate on your own. So why doesn’t Kaspersky start? What to do in this situation? Some of the most common causes and troubleshooting tips are here.
Update
Modern Microsoft products are very fond of offering their updates to users. This is especially true for operating systems. So, for example, if you have Windows 7, then the "Update Center" may offer you to upgrade to the "eight." Or do it forcibly. And just after such a step, you will notice that Kaspersky does not start. Sometimes it’s not only this software that gets distributed.
What to do in this case? If you notice that the software refuses to work after updating the operating system, you can reinstall the program. This is a very effective way that solves many problems without much trouble. So, do not miss it.
Rollback
Does Kaspersky not start? The first thing that you can offer the user, especially if you do not want to go into the details of such a phenomenon, is to roll back the system. Sometimes even harmless to the computer and invisible to us errors can have a negative impact on the software. Therefore, he refuses to work. No matter what it is - a game, application or antivirus.
In principle, system rollback helps in approximately 50% of cases. Usually the effectiveness depends on the real problem. The more serious she is, the less chance of success. But trying to roll back the system using standard tools that will be able to restore Windows is worth it. They are in the Start menu: “All Programs”, “Standard”. If this does not help, reinstalling Kaspersky is recommended. Perhaps this option is most often used by users, regardless of the situation. It is always easier to get rid of the application and reinstall it than to understand the problem. But this is not a 100% guarantee for resolving the situation.
Conflict
You do not run Kaspersky Anti-Virus? The causes of the phenomenon can be many. And one of them is an application conflict. Especially true when you have several antiviruses in one computer. You should not be surprised at this. After all, each system will “survive” its competitor. During this process, one antivirus is able to refuse to work. The same phenomenon can happen after installing some program. Just an internal app conflict.
How to be Here it is up to you to decide. But you have to get rid of either malicious software or anti-virus. If you have two of them, you need to disable one, but it is better to just delete it altogether. Only then can you notice how Kaspersky’s work resumed.
A quick tip: never install multiple anti-virus systems on your computer. They will constantly conflict, not to mention booting your computer. And then you forget about the problem when Kaspersky does not start and does not work. If you have chosen this antivirus, then use it only. Unless you can additionally install anti-spyware. For example, SpyHunter.
Viruses
No matter how strange it may sound, but there is another rather interesting case. Did you notice that Kaspersky does not start on Windows 7 or any other operating system? Then it's time to somehow check the computer for viruses. The thing is that recently, computer infection is trying first to get rid of its fighter - antivirus. And therefore, when the system is infected, Kaspersky refuses to work.
Most often, with such a phenomenon, it is recommended to simply remove the antivirus, as well as reinstall Windows. Indeed, in this situation, it is hardly possible to completely treat a computer. This, in turn, will not allow you to restore the functionality of the antivirus. So sometimes this is exactly the situation that solves all the problems.
Incompatibility
Recently, users have begun to complain that their Kaspersky is not starting. Moreover, this problem relates to one category of people: those who dare to install Windows 10. You should not be surprised at this phenomenon. This is normal for a new Microsoft product.
Why is this so? The thing is that the reason for Kaspersky's refusal to work on Windows 10 is the banal system incompatibility with software. This is a long-known fact, which forces many to abandon the "top ten." There is no way to restore the antivirus (and other programs). You must either completely change the operating system or reconcile with incompatibility and wait for Microsoft to release some kind of patch that fixes such a failure.
"Pirate"
The last common occurrence in which Kaspersky does not start is the presence of pirated software. Moreover, both the operating system and the antivirus itself are taken into account. If you have downloaded and installed a “pirate” for yourself, you should not be surprised at its refusals from work. After all, this is a fairly common phenomenon, which is corrected by reinstalling the software.
But if your operating system is pirated, it’s so easy to launch the Kaspersky license when it suddenly refused to work. It is recommended either to change it to a "pirate", or to install a licensed copy of Windows on a computer. No other scenario has been given. Which course to apply, decide for yourself.
As you can see, the most common causes of our current problem are corrected without outside help. If you doubt that you can handle it yourself, contact the professionals. Or, in general, change the antivirus. Often, users are advised to abandon Kaspersky when it stops working. In principle, this is also not the worst advice, especially if you did not buy a licensed copy.
