Automatic (delayed start) was already and still is selected. No difference.

Have you tried scanning your system of Spyware irregardless of your current solution finding any spyware? Try using Super Anti-Spyware or Malwarebytes . It is good practice to run multiple scans from multiple solutions.

Hello Karl,Have you checked the "Dependencies" tab?You should have:-Remote Procedure Call (RPC) - DCOM Server Process Launcher - RPC Endpoint Mapper-Windows Management Instrumentation - Remote Procedure Call (RPC) - DCOM Server Process Launcher - RPC Endpoint MapperCheck to see if you have these services started as well.The path to the executable is:C:\Windows\System32\svchost.exe -k LocalServiceNetworkRestrictedAnd yes it runs under Local Service.Aside from that I'll watch for a fix for you.Regards,williamdinbc

William - Those dependencies are are there, are the services are started. Thanks. Tim - As much as I would like to think this is just a simple virus or malware issue, its not. My PC is completely clean of anything like that.

If you havent figured it out yet. Set it to auto, not delayed start.

Well, my hard drive crashed last month, and since rebuilding the PC this issue no longer exists. I just checked the service, and it is still set to 'delayed start', however I don't get the error like before. So perhaps an OS reinstall was in order? Can't verify that setting it to auto is the fix since I no longer experience the issue.

Thanks for the help. I had same problem when I picked up malware. After cleaning it wouldn't start. I followed this procedure and it was disabled. I changed to delayed start and it worked when I turned it on. TY TY TY
