Windows 10: System Configuration Services 'Stopped'

Hey, a few months ago several services stopped functioning on my computer (including printing), and when I checked System Configuration, it said all these services were 'stopped'. There are no apparent ways to set these to 'running', and I was wondering if anyone knew a way to fix this?

Many thanks, Dan

:)

 

is there any demand for a system configurator?

Hi Rico,
