Audio Service not starting - access denied

My audio service is refusing to start regardless of what I try on Windows 10 1803.

I have attempted the following:

• Re-installing audio drivers
• Updating audio drivers
• A full virus scan
• A disk check
• An SFC check

Do all these look similar on your computer? If not, then make them similar and restart your computer:

After the computer restarts, see if Windows Search works - - - Updated - - - Here are search results for having an exactly the same Permissions error for a Service: "windows could not start the "+"error 5 access is denied" - Search This could widen the horizon of different possibilities that you can try to fix the error if none of the above worked.
