How to Recover WSA, when temp disabled?

Yesterday I uninstalled my scanner software from Add Remove/Restart Now-

When Win started a transparent WSA GUI flashed twice (took no action???).

Then about 12min after startup I get a Win Notification saying all AV’s are OFF Check Now, and WSA is back on.

 

Then today on 3d Reboot I get the same 2 WSA flashes, and 12 min notification!

This is why I left WSA last time!- What should I do different?

    Hello @scottls59901 

     

    Can you please do a clean reinstall to see if that helps?

     

    Please follow the steps closely!

    • Make sure you have a copy of your 20 Character Alphanumeric Keycode! Example: SA69-AAAA-A783-DE78-XXXX
    • Be sure you add your Keycode to your Online Console: Webroot SecureAnywhere Online Console
    • KEEP the computer online for Uninstall and Reinstall to make sure it works correctly
    • Download a Copy Here (Best Buy Geek Squad Subscription PC users click HERE) Let us know if it is the Mac version you need
    • Uninstall WSA and Reboot
    • Look to see if this folder is gone: C:\ProgramData\WRData and if it’s there delete it. (Hidden Area)
    • Install with the new installer, enter your Keycode
    • Let it finish it's install scan
    • Reboot once again
    • DO NOT import any old settings as you can set it up as you like once it's done

    Please let us know if that resolves your issue?

    Thanks,

    • Thank you!- I can see my problems may be from Improper installation!?- I’ll try again, after you answer some questions?-
    1. Created Online Console Acct., and added A/N Keycode.
    2.  Can I Download a Copy Now, or after Uninstall?
    3. Last time after install- The WSA GUI opened/ It said a scan had been run a couple of min. earlier- Should I Manual Scan again Twice?   I then got a Win notification saying to  check AV status (done!).  I started checking settings,  and the GUI auto-closed???
    4. Should I Reboot before opening Edge (Default, but don’t use) /Google Chrome Browsers, and setting up Web Shield...? 
    5. Another issue I had- On cold startup, Chrome or Scanner GUI would sometimes auto-open?
    6. I wish I could turn off auto # formatting!?
