Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community, we appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

I understand the inconvenience caused to you while connected to internet on Windows 10, we will help you with this issue.

Try the below steps and check if it helps.

Method 1: I suggest you to check with the dependency services of “Remote Access Connection Manager” and make sure that all the dependency services are started.

• 
  Click Start, type
  Services.msc in the Start Search box.
  
• 
  Scroll down the list of services, right-click
  Remote Access Connection Manager, click on Properties.
  
• 
  Click the Dependencies tab.
  
• 
  Make a note of the dependency services of Remote Access Connection Manager and make sure that these services are started and the startup type is set to
  Automatic.
  

To start a service, right-click the particular service and select Start
or Restart.

To set the startup type of a particular service,

• Right-click the service and select Properties.
• Under General tab, make sure the Startup type
  is set to Automatic.

Method 2: Perform a Winsock Reset

• Open the Windows Start Screen or
  Start Menu and type cmd in the search box.
• Right-click Command Prompt or
  cmd in the search results and select Run as Administrator.
• Type netsh winsock reset in the Command Prompt window and press
  Enter. Wait for Windows to finish resetting your Winsock configuration.

Windows 10 Enterprise Edition Update from RS3 to RS4, service is not started (error 1068 the dependency service or group failed to start)

We have identified an issue upgrading Windows 10 Enterprise Edition from RS3 (1709) to RS4 (1803). After the update our Service is not started even though it is set to start Automatically. We know the application is intact because it can
be started manually through the Services UI and performs as expected.



Supporting Data:

1. The System Event Log shows the sender is not Automatically started because it is dependent on LanmanWorkstation (Error 1068: the dependency service or group failed to start).
2. The Event Logs do not show any LanmanWorkstation events and when queried the LanmanWorkstation service is running.
   1. RGS Service Dependencies are LanmanWorkstation, TermService, Winmgmt, EventLog
   2. Dependency Map
      1. Remote Procedure Call (RPC) : rpcSs(Automatic),
         
         1. Depends on: DCOM Service Process Launcher(automatic, no dependencies)
         2. Depends on: RPC Endpoint Mapper(automatic, no dependencies)
      2. Workstation: LanmanWorkstation(Automatic)
         1. Depends on: Network Store Interface Service who depends on NSI Proxy Service Driver
         2. Depends on: Network Store Interface Service who depends on Remote Procedure Call
         3. Depends on: SMB 2.0 MiniRedirector
         4. Dependent on this service: Remote Desktop Configuration(Manual)
         5. Dependent on this service: Our Service(Automatic)
      3. Remote Desktop Services: TermService(Manual)
         1. Depends on: Remote Procedure Call
         2. Dependent on this service: Our Service(Automatic)

My assumption is that LanmanWorkstation service is delayed starting (could be in recovery restart mode), but after it starts, the Update Service doesn't go back and start its dependent services. The only
other service that is dependent on LanmanWorkstation is the Remote Desktop Configuration, but it’s a Manual start so we don’t see a similar failure.

I would appreciate any suggestions or ideas.

 

PIN

Hi Matthew,

There's a possibility that the PIN code you're asked to enter is the PIN code of your Windows 10 user account. If you signed in to Windows 10 using your Microsoft account, the Xbox app will take the credentials you've used to sign in. Let's remove the PIN
code. Here are the steps:

1. Click Start and select Settings.
2. Select Accounts.
3. Select Sign-in options, under PIN, click
   Remove.
4. Confirm the changes by entering your profile password.

Refer to
Can I sign in to Windows without a password for the steps on how to change the sign-in options for your Windows 10 device.

If the same instance occurs after removing the PIN code and changing your user account's sign-in options, we suggest that you sign in to
Xbox.com. This is to verify if there's an issue with your Xbox account.

Should you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to us.
