Windows 10: `dnscache` cannot be started due to inappropriate permission

Hi there!I recently invested in a paid-for VPN service on my windows 10 machine.However, when I try to start it, it says "cannot get dns server, contact support" , which is what I did.They said that the `dnscache` service might be disabled, and to re-enable it using services.msc.However the button to start it is greyed out. No problem, I thought. I'll just change the DWORD in the registry to make the service manually start.I did that and got the error: "1058: the service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it."

Almost the same

There are more than 2 services mentioned above need to be run. Let's do step by step:

1. Open Admin command prompt, copy and paste the commands below to run, might get error message if the service is already run and that's OK:
   sc config FDResPub start= auto
   net start FDResPub
   sc config dnscache start= auto
   net start dnscache
   sc config SSDPSRV start= auto
   net start SSDPSRV
   sc config upnphost start= auto
   net start upnphost
2. Double check from Network and Sharing Center on both PC's that they are both have "Private" as current profile
   
   
   
   and under All Networks: Turn off password Protect Sharing
3. Make sure both PC's are in the same WORKGROUP
4. Share the drive(s): click on Permissions and make sure "Everyone" is on the list with Full Permission
5. Click on the Security Tab and check as in step 3. If "Everyone" is not on the list, add it with Full Permission.
6. On each PC, run ipconfig /flushdns to renew dnscache
7. Turn off the router for 30 seconds, turn back on to renew the DNS Cache.
8. Reboot both PC's

NOTE: If not already done. It's always better to assign a static LAN IP for each device in the network so that each time you turn on the device, the exact same IP will be assigned to it, this will avoid the delay in connection if the DNS Cache is expired. Log into the Router->LAN Settings and make the IP assignment.
