Software protection service cannot start

Hi. My windows 10 is facing an issue that the software protection service (sppsvc) cannot start (or just show "starting"and then "stoped").

when I check the log, there is an Event ID 7000 and it states "the software protection service failed to start due to following error: the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion".

i also tried to start it mannually, and got error 1053.

Anyone can help me, please

thank you in advance.

 

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.
