Service "IP Helper" deactivates after every restart - Teredo is unable to qualify

Hey, It's my first question in this forum, so if something (eg. the topic) isn't right please just tell me

Windows 10 Education build 1809

(the same issue occured with Windows 10 Home, I just recently upgraded it to education)

To get straight to it: I want to activate the IP Helper service permanently. (This service is required for Teredo, and hence Xbox, to function properly)

I tried activating it via Services>IP Helper>Properties>Startup Type>automatic. In other words, I know how to activate it (simply by pressing on start in "Properties") but I don't want to activate it every time after a restart (hence the automatic startup
type). However, after every reboot the settings change back to default, which is startup type = manual (and obviously IP Helper isn't running after the reboot).

Next thing I tried was going into the registry "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\iphlpsvc" and changing the value of "Start" to "2", which changes the start type to automatic. Again, after a reboot, the key value changed back
to default, which is "3" corresponding to start type = manual.

It seems that this issue occurs quite often, that is, registry changes reverting after a reboot. So I tried a clean boot to see wether any programm changes this setting or registry. Sadly, after every clean boot the registry change still reverted to default
and the "IP Helper"-settings back to manual (default). Hence, no third party programm changes this setting on startup (at least that's my conclusion).

I don't have any other ideas on how to solve this and the Microsoft Phone Support couldn't give me any helpful answers, so you guys are my last hope. I'd be very grateful if you could help with changing this setting or the registry entry in a way that sticks
after a reboot.

Edit 1: On my Laptop the startup type is set to automatic and the service is running after every reboot (as I want it to be, it must be possible somehow). I'm logged in with the same Microsoft Account on both my PC and my Laptop, my Laptop uses Win10 Home
1809.

Edit 2: My final goal is of course that all Xbox online features work properly, that is, resolving the "Teredo is unable to qualify" error. However, before suggestions regarding the "Teredo is unable to qualify" error inside the xbox app are made, please
just note that I narrowed it down to the service "Ip helper", which is required to be running in order for teredo (and xbox) work. If this service is active, everything works like it's supposed to.

Teredo error on Xbox App on Win10

Hi there,

I'm having an issue with the Teredo adapter not working on Xbox App for Win10.

I've gone through a lot of the troubleshooting steps and left with no success.

I went through my services list and tried starting my IP Helper but that gave me errors then I tried fixing that one and nothing.. still not working.. still no solution so any help would be amazing.

Thank you so much in advance. Very much appreciate it.

 

IP Helper won't start automatically, despite being set to.

Not only does IP Helper not automatically start, it resets the default properties to default thus going back to "manual" after boot, even though I changed it to "automatic". I've been tinkering with this for quite some time, trying numerous troubleshooting
methods. I am currently able to start IP Helper anytime I please, but the goal is not having to do so every time I want to play an Xbox game or chat on the Xbox App, which needs Teredo to function. But Teredo can't function without IP Helper, so that's why
I'm bothering with it. Any advice here would be greatly appreciated!
