1. If a Windows service is failing to start, try restarting the computer

To start troubleshooting a Windows service that is not starting, first determine the cause of the problem. Some common causes of Windows service problems are as follows: • The service may not have been installed correctly. • The service may not have been configured correctly. • The service may not have been started correctly. • The service may have been prevented from starting by a registry error. • The service may have been terminated due to a problem. If the service is not installed or started correctly, you can try to restart the computer to fix the problem. If the service is configured correctly, you can try to fix the problem by following the steps below. To start the service, open the Services Control Manager. To open the Services Control Manager, click Start, type services.msc into the Search box, and then click Services. In the Services Control Manager window, double-click the service that you want to start. To stop the service, double-click the service name and then click Stop. If the service is not started, you can try to start the service by using the following command: net start service_name If the service is not configured correctly, you can try to configure the service by using the following command: net use service_name /?

2. If that doesn't work, try restarting the service from the Services snap-in

Windows Services error codes can be a result of a number of problems, including configuration issues, hardware issues, and software errors. To identify the source of the problem, you'll need to perform a series of tests and then take steps to fix the issue. To start, start by opening the Services snap-in. This can be done by clicking the start button, typing services.msc, and then pressing enter. Once the Services snap-in is open, you'll want to select the service you're trying to resolve the error code for. In this example, we'll select the Windows Search service. Once the Windows Search service is selected, you'll want to review the error code that's been reported. In this example, the error code is 4 (Service not started). To determine the cause of the error, you'll need to perform a few tests. For example, you can check to see if the service is running by clicking the status button and then clicking on the status of the service. If the service is not running, you can try to restart the service by clicking the start button, typing services.msc, and then pressing enter. If the service is not running or is not responding, you can try to troubleshoot the service by performing a series of tests. For example, you can try to start the service by using the command line. If the service is not responding or is not running, you can try to fix the issue by following the steps in the Services snap-in. For example, you can try to update the service or uninstall and reinstall the service.

1. Open a command prompt on the computer that you want to start the service on.
2. Type the net start command and press ENTER.
3. If the service is not started, the command prompt will display the service name and the error code that is associated with the service.
4. To stop the service, type the net stop command and press ENTER.

5. Try re-registering the service DLL file

1. Start by opening a command prompt.
