Home PC virus protection shuts down when PC is turned off?

Hello, 'This just recently ( within last week) started happening. I bought this PC less than 6 months ago. No other virus protection product has ever been loaded on it.

Recently McAfee turns off when I shut down my PC. I have to manually restart it when I start my PC back up . It goes through an update process, says it is up to date and I am secure.

I want this to run all of the time and start up when I start up my PC. i do not want to have to manually start it up.

Any ideas?

I have ran a full scan and it comes back clean. I have also run Malware Bytes and it comes back clean.

Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful before I have to contact support

Thanks!

​,

                 Are you saying that your McAfee Software is not running after your computer goes to sleep? And you bring it out of (Sleep Mode)? Or after you have shut it down for the night, and upon starting your Machine up the next day your software is not (Loading)?

                 Do you have your Updates/Engine Versions set to (Automatic)?
