Windows 10: Cannot start windows audio service, access is denied

Hi,


I recently restart my laptop and after that, I saw a red cross on my audio sign.

I run the troubleshooting. It says one or more audio services isn't running.

Then I go to the services. I saw windows audio endpoint builder is running. But the window audio is not running. I try to start it. But I got "windows could not start the windows audio service on local computer. Error 0x80070005: Access is denied."


What I have tried:

1. update the audio driver.

2. uninstall and install the audio driver.

3. set the registry editor to full control.

4. check the antivirus history.

5. restart computer.

nothing works.


I also try to set Windows audio log on ->local system account.

This could let me run the Windows audio service. But still no sound.


I also run sfc /scannow. It tells me : Windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.


I am so upset after trying everything I can find on the internet.


Any suggestions?


Thank you

:)

 

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
• Making sure all the dependencies of the Windows Audio Service are running

None of these have succeeded in changing anything.
Whenever I try to start the audio service, I get this error message:




This made me think it is potentially the firewall messing everything up, so I start up Windows Defender and get this error message:




Are these two problems related, and does anyone know how I can fix it?

EDIT:
The Windows Defender Antivirus Service and Windows Defender Antivirus Network Inspection Service are both not running, and when I try to start them I get this error:




I imagine that this is connected in some way but I have no clue how to fix it.

 

Windows audio service access denied

After a windows update my windows Audio service will not start. When trying to start it normally i get a message saying error 0x80070005: access is denied. This is leaving my computer without sound. Also it seems to have stop windows updates from installing
and i can't use a system restore point because it said it does not have permissions to access some files.

 

Windows could not start the Windows Audio Service on Local Computer

I have no audio on my PC. After searching for advice I started the services.msc program and the Windows Audio service wasn't running. I tried starting it manually but I get the message "Windows could not start the Windows Audio Service on Local Computer.\n
Error 0x80070005: access is denied." The service properties Log On tab shows to Log on as: This account - Local Service.

I have tried switching to run as a Local System account. This got rid of the red cross over the speaker icon in the system icon tray but I still didn't get audio.

Any suggestions?
