  2. Software Protection Service Waking Computer

    Hi,

    I understand you concern, if you have installed any recent software then this might be triggering the SPS. As of now, I suggest you to please check the status of SPS in services:


    • Press Windows Key + R.

    • Type services.

    • Check what state the service for SPS is, it should be in
      Automatic, if it is stopped suggest to change it to Automatic.
    Regards.

  3. Microsoft software protection platform (sppsvc) any other fixes for this?

    Hello WulfBreaker,

    Microsoft Software Protection Platform Service is a technology that is aimed at helping prevent piracy and protect customers from software tampering while making licensing easier to manage.
    Try to disable the SvcRestartTask command. Here's how:

    1. Click the Start menu button, type scheduled task and open Scheduled tasks.
    2. Enter Task Scheduler Library, then Microsoft,
      Windows, and finally SoftwareProtectionPlatform.
    3. Right-click on SvcRestartTask, and choose Disable.
    4. In case there are two or more such processes, delete the duplicates.

    If the issue still persists, some users suggested using a third-party software to disable the said service. You can check the suggested steps from
    Ellio_tt in this thread.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Regards.

    Error: "Failed to schedule Software Protection service", Error Code: 0x80070005 on Windows 10

    Hi,

    As you are facing issues with the Windows Service errors, do not worry we will help you with this issue.

    The issue may occur if one or more of the following conditions are true:

    • The Task Scheduler service is disabled.
    • The Software Protection Platform service is not running under the NETWORK SERVICE account.
    • Read permissions for the NETWORK SERVICE account are missing on the following folder:
      C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\SoftwareProtectionPlatform

    Let us try the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

    Method 1: I suggest you to verify that the Task Scheduler service is running. .

    • Press Windows + R keys, type services.msc and press enter.
    • Locate the Task Scheduler service.
    • Open the Task Scheduler service and click on “Start” button.
    • Set the Startup type to “Automatic”.
    • Click OK.

    Method 2: After verifying the service try the below.

    • Open the Computer Management tool, and then navigate to
      Configuration
      -> Task Scheduler -> Task Scheduler Library ->
      Microsoft -> Windows -> SoftwareProtectionPlatform.
    • On the General tab of SoftwareProtectionPlatform, select the security options, and then verify that the Software Protection Platform service is set to use the NETWORK SERVICE account.
    • In Windows Explorer, browse to the C:\Windows\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\SoftwareProtectionPlatform folder, and then verify that the NETWORK SERVICE account has Read permissions for that folder.
    • Restart the Software Protection service if it is running.

    Hope it helps. Get back to us with an updates status of the error messages for further assistance.

    Thank you.
