Windows Defender

This message kept coming up after I turned my computer on. What does this
mean and what do I need to do to fix this??

"Application failed to initialize 0x80016ba. A problem caused this
program's service to stop. To start the service, restart your computer or
search Help and Support for how to start a service manually."

Hi,

Click start and type 'services.msc', then hit <enter>. Click continue at the
uac prompt. Scroll down the list of services to Windows Defender and click
on it, then on the link at left to start or restart the service.

Dave,
I did that and it stated "The delayed auto-start flag could not be set.
Error 87: The parameter is incorrect."
Thanks,
