Windows 10: Error: 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.

Hello there, I have recently been having issues with no list of available networks showing up and my internet settings closing right after after being opened sometimes it doesn't even open at all and just crashes my settings. Moving on, I opened services,msc to check if I had certain things running to see if that would help. I may have gotten to the root of my problem but I don't know. The service called "Network Location Awareness" is not running. I have it on automatic and even tried to put it on manual. Though when I click "start" to try and start up the service I get a message called.

:)

Error 1068: the dependency service or group failed to start

Greetings,

During application install on Windows Server 2016 I had to change name of the server (hostname).

After changing the name and restarting the server I had a vast number of services not working (stopped):

Network and Sharing Center is not showing any of my adapters (they are shown in device manager though)

Server

Network Location Awareness

Intel Ethernet Thermal Sensor Monitor Service

Network Store Interface Service

Agentless Management Service

DHCP Client

Windows Firewall

UPnP Device Host

Workstation

IP Helper

Windows Remote Managment

User Access Logging Service

Diagnostic Policy Service

Distributed Transaction Coordinator

I cannot start them in Services because I get the "error 1068: the dependency service or group failed to start" error. If I try to start their dependencies I get the same.

If I try to start Server service I get the 1753 error

If I try to start Firewall service I get error code 87

So far I tried everything from the guide on this link:

Fix The Dependency Service or Group Failed to Start

and I have tried to return the original server hostname but this did not solve anything.

I still haven't tried to perform repair Windows installation since that is the really last resort.

Any help would be tremendously appreciated.

Windows10: Windows could not start the Security Center service on Local Computer; Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start

I searched a lot and tried few resolution steps(from below URLs), but still I am unable to start the Security Center service on Local Computer.

Error message: “Security Center service cannot be started”

Also need steps for resetting registery editor, I doubt few registry files got modified with few installations I did previously.

Thanks in advance,
