Hi, Before moving on, I would like to share the following error information with you. parameter or unspecified errorAccoridnt to description, I suspect this issue is a software confliction issue. Do you have any security software? If so, could you please temporarily disable/remove it to test the issue?Also, you an try to do a clean boot to test the issue. Regarding the Service Control Manager event ID 7023 error, hope the following link can help you. Service Control Manager Records Event ID 7023 In the System LogThanks.

I've managed to solve the problem. I changed the startup moe for that service from Automatic to "Automatic (Delayed)". Now the service starts and stays on. cheers
