Reinstalling and Restart Required

Greetings,

 

                  My Trend Micro stop working and I am having a problem reinstalling Trend Micro. So I tried reinstalling. The installation goes well then is says “Restart Required”. After restarting my computer, it does not finish the installation. Instead it starts back at the Serial Number page. Then once I finish the License Agreement page it will return to “Restart Required”.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your response, silverspirit007.

 

To continue addressing the concern, kindly run the Trend Micro installer again. When you see the "Restart Required" window, leave the window open and proceed with the steps provided below:

  1. Check and delete all Trend Micro folders and files manually in the following locations:
    • Program Files
    • Program Data
    • AppData
  2. Delete Temp and %temp% files
  3. Empty the Recycle Bin
  4. Click the Restart Now button from the "Restart Required" window
  5. Proceed with Installing Trend Micro

Let us know how it goes.

Hi, silverspirit007!

 

Welcome to Trend Micro Home Users Community.

 

Please try to run the Trend Micro Remnant File Remover Tool. This usually happens when there are remnants of the previously installed Trend Micro Security software. You may refer to this link below:

How to use Trend Micro Remnant File Remover Tool

 

After running the tool, try to install Trend Micro again.

 

Hope this helps.

Hello TM_Cathy,

 

                              Thank you for you for your reply and the link to Trend Micro Remnant File Remover Tool.

 

I installed and ran the Trend Micro Remnant File Remover Tool. Then, ran Trend Micro Maximum Security installer. After restarting computer the installer continues to returns “Restart Required”. I restarted a few more times, but it continues to return to “Restart Required”.

Thank you for your time,
