Im haveing multiple problems with my laptop and its pretty bad.

First of all the wireless conection breaks all the time and it says that Wireless zero configuration utility needs to be restarted. So i have to go to Run; %SystemRoot%/system32/services.msc s - and restart it. But it just goes out again after a few hours.
Windows Firewall will not open. It says; "Windows firewall setting cannot be displayed becasue the associated service is not running..." I click ok and it says" Windows cannot start the widows firewall/Internet connection sharing (ICS) service.
Windows defender cannot update. It says its trying but then fails and it dosnt display the problem long enough to write it down here.
My sound is no longer working.

Im about to just give up and reformat and re instal everything. Unless anyone thinks i have a hardware problem

Go to the control panel and open up Administrative Tools. Then open up Services. Find the ones that you are having problems with and change them Automatic and start them. My guess is they are disabled for some reason. Hopefully that helps.
