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.

To set the startup type of a particular service,

Method 2:

Step 1: Unplug all your removable media

Please unplug all your removable media from the computer except the keyboard and mouse, such as removable disks, memory cards and USB flash drives.

Step 2: Perform Clean boot and try to install Windows Updates.

Perform Clean Boot which helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue.

How to perform a clean boot in Windows

Refer to Windows 8.1 steps, as they are applicable to Windows 10.

Note: Refer "How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting" to reset the computer to start as normal after troubleshooting.

Method 3:

I would suggest you to download the Windows 10 from the link below and check.

Download Windows 10 and run the set up from the desktop.

Note: I highly recommend
backing up all of your important files and folders onto an external storage device before attempting the installation.

Method 4: Perform SFC scan

I would suggest you to performSFC scan and check if that helps. The
sfc/scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions. It is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted
files.

Refer the link: Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

Refer to Windows 8.1 steps, as they are applicable to Windows 10.
