Windows 10: Network List Service (netprofm) getting disabled after system restart

Hi All,

Whenever I restart my system Network List Service (netprofm) is getting disabled and stopped. Everytime I had to manually start it to get the network connectivity. Is it some kind of bug in Windows 10?


Moreover, in the event logs, I'm seeing multiple occurrences of the below logs (when I set the service startup to Automatic and start it, in the backend it's getting disabled)

-> The start type of the Network List Service service was changed from auto start to disabled.

-> Event ID;7040

-> Source: Service Control Manager

-> User is coming as "SYSTEM"

Attached the screenshot for reference!
