Windows Defender network inspection service fails to start as reported here: https://www.tenforums.com/antivirus...r-network-inspection-service-fails-start.html. I have the first two error codes showing. The immediate solution is to disable Memory Integrity or perform a repair install. Or do nothing and wait for a fix/ Or, install Bitdefender Free or other AV.

"My best guess is that the newest WdNisDrv.sys driver is incompatible with Memory Integrity (even though it doesn't report as such when toggling Memory Integrity); if that is the case then it is ridiculous that this got pushed to the public update channel.
It isn't a balanced solution, but it is what there is for now unless you can roll back to a version of defender that doesn't have this problem and disable updates.
I think the ultimate solution will require Microsoft fixing it in a future Defender Platform Update."
"Windows Defender Network Inspection Service fails to start
Repeating Event ids 7000 and 7001 in Windows 10 version 2004 - Windows Defender Network Service fails to start, as "existing buffer is not applicable for this operation" or something like that.
The service is set to Manual, an attempt to launch it manually results in error 1068 - "the dependency service failed to start"
Windows security gives no warnings or malfunction signs in settings.
Anything to do about it?"
