The Diagnostic Policy Service is not running

Hi,

To resolve this issue, launch the command prompt as Admin and enter
these:

• Type " net localgroup Administrators /add networkservice " then press Enter.

Also, we need to make sure that the following services are started.

1. Press Windows key
+ R.

2. On the dialog box, type services.msc

3. Under Services (Local)
list, find the services: Diagnostic policy, Diagnostic Service, Diagnostic system host.

4. Check the status of the services is started or not.

5. If the services are not started, you can
Right Click a status and Start a service.

6. Restart your computer.

Please post back with the result for further assistance.

 

Service Host Diagnostic Policy High CPU usage

Thank you for the feedback!

Based on what you typed and with some further research into the service, I was able to dig in and fix the issue. Here are the steps I followed for any future people that have a similar problem.

Diagnostic policy was running constantly indicating there was something it was diagnosing and all the provided troubleshooters in the windows settings came back ok except the Windows Update one.

1. I uninstalled all previous updates and reinstalled them
   
2. After restarting my computer, I ended the Service Host Diagnostic Policy in the Task manager
   
3. I went to Services and verified the service was stopped
   
4. Navigated to the SRUDB.dat file and deleted it
   
5. Restarted computer and verified that the service is now running again
   

These are the steps I took. Originally deleting the dat file did nothing, but after reinstalling all my windows updates, deleting it did the trick.

Thank you again!
