    In Windows Server 2016 Standard Microsoft iSCSI Initiator Services are stopped automatically. What is the cause for this?

    Hello,



    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum. There could be several reasons why the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator Services are stopping automatically on your Windows Server 2016 Standard. You can try the following steps to troubleshoot the issue,



    1. Check for conflicting software and uninstall any that may be causing the issue.

    2. Run a system file checker scan to check for and repair any corrupted system files.

    3. Update all drivers on the server to the latest version.

    4. Check the server's resource usage and ensure that it has enough resources to run the services.



    Have a nice day.



    Best Regards,

    Molly

    3. Follow the onscreen instruction.

    Step 3: Run Windows Update Troubleshooter

    I suggest you to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter. Follow these steps to run Windows Updatetroubleshooter:

    • PressWindows key + W and type troubleshooting.
    • Select Troubleshooting.
    • Select View all on the top left corner.
    • ClickWindows Update troubleshooter.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to run the troubleshooter.

    Step 4:

    I suggest you to check if the services responsible for Windows update is running. Refer to these steps:

    • Press Windows key +R, type “services.msc
    • Locate the BITS, Cryptographic, MSI Installer and the
      Windows Update Services and check if it is running.

    The Microsoft ISCSI service is not running

    text services framework not running

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    In order to get clarity and to assist you with appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

    1. What is the make and model of your system?
    2. What is the issue you are facing with the detachable keyboard?
    3. Are you receiving any error code or error message?
    4. What are the troubleshooting steps that you have already performed?

    The Text Services Framework is a COM framework and an API in the Windows operating systems, that supports advanced text input and text processing. Since the Text Services Framework is not running, I would suggest
    you to follow the steps below and check if it works for you.

    1. Click on Start, type
      cmd, Right-click on it and select Run as administrator. This will open the
      Command Prompt for you.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter.
      Command: schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\TextServicesFramework\MsCtfMonitor" /Enable
    3. Next type the following command and press Enter.
      Command: schtasks /Run /TN "Microsoft\Windows\TextServicesFramework\MsCtfMonitor"
    4. Once both the commands have been executed successfully, please close the Command Prompt.
    5. Restart the system and check.

    We await your response.
