Windows 10: dCOM service stopped causing all related services to go in standby

good evening,

today i wanted to play mfs2020 but it redirected me to the store page of the Gaming Services so i started looking in to the windows 10 services application and in the Gaming services status was stopped.

I could not start it as the option was grayed out I also tried to change the ownership on file explorer to Administrator and successfully completed the operation but the service still didn't work so I started looking at the dependencies to see if any other service related to this one was not operational and I discovered that the DCOM Server Process Launcher service was disabled with a note attached to it: The DCOMLAUNCH service launches COM and DCOM servers in response to object activation requests. If this service is stopped or disabled, programs using COM or DCOM will not function properly. It is strongly recommended that you have the DCOMLAUNCH service running.

i also tried to run ICACLS * /reset /t /c /q in CMD as admin and rebooted nothing changed.

does anyone have any other solution I could try? I'm very confused...

Thanks

:)

 

Securing Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 services HOW TO

I will try changing their settings sometime, the one thing I've noticed about this guide is that it doesn't list the Windows services that NEED to be left as local system, so some people might not be too sure what they're doing and worry about any that aren't listed. Just a suggestion that you might want to include in any future revisions. *Smile

The non-default ones I have that you have not listed are:

.Net Runtime Optimization Service v2.0.50727_X86
Ati HotKey Poller
ATI Smart
AVG E-mail Scanner
AVG7 Alert Manager Server
AVG7 Update Service
BlueSoleil Hid Service
Bluetooth Support Service
ewido anti-spyware 4.0 guard
iPod Service
Messenger Sharing USN Journal Reader Service
Service Layer
Windows Defender Service

The problem is that the only ones of these I actually use are The AVG and Windows Defender services and occasionally the "Service Layer" service (related to Nokia PC Suite) and the "Messenger Sharing USN Journal Reader Service" (related to WindowsLive Messenger). Anyway, I'll see how much I can secure those and post back how I get on. I'll try to test it sometime this week just I'm a bit waring of changing the AVG settings because the only way to test if it was still working would be for a virus to be detected... and I' rather I didn't get viruses!

 

ServiceHost UniStack Service Group - ???Services: 1122a6 & are they related to Update Failures?

Hi Momma Bear,

Svchost.exe is a generic host process name for services that run from dynamic-link libraries. The
Unistack Service Group consists of at least 3-4 operating services:
User Data Storage, User Data Access, Contact Data, and
Sync Host.

When one service in a service host fails, all services in the service host fail. In other words, the service host process is terminated resulting in termination of all running services within that process. Individual service failure actions are then run.
As you may have noticed in Task Manager before, service hosts can contain a lot of services.

Services are organized into logical groups that are all somewhat related, and then a single Service Host instance is created to host each group. For example, one Service Host process runs the three services related to the firewall. Another Service Host process
might run all the services related to the user interface, and so on.

That being said, it is not bad having too many Service Host processes showing in the Task Manager. The number of
Service Host process running in your Task Manager depends on the number of applications, programs, and services that are running or working on your computer.

Too many Service Host process running on your PC is not related to the Windows update installation failure. to isolate the issue with your Windows Update issue, we would like to ask the following:

• Have you encountered any error messages?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

In the meantime, we suggest that you run the Windows Update Troubleshooter. After running the troubleshooter, try
running the Windows Update again and install any available updates.

Let us know if you have other concerns.
