Windows 10: WinHttpAutoProxySvc service which failed to start

I may be way over my pay-grade on this. My computer is a Lenovo X201 with an Intel i7 CPU M620 @ 2.67 GHz, 1 TB of disk storage and 8 MB of Ram using Windows 10 Pro, Version 1809, OS Build 17763.437.


My computer has been extremely slow on start-up and shows 100% of disk usage for about 13 minutes even though Task Manager shows very few processes are using little of these resources. I have disabled a number of programs with little change. I have run programs to clean up the registry (CCleaner) and malware (Malwarebytes). Nothing seems to help. I have run "chkdsk /f /r" - it get to 11% and then sits there for hours, and after 4 to 6 hours I believe it crashes. I say believe because I never was watching when it stops. However, Event Viewer shows a number of Errors about the time of the "crashes." The first of these errors is always "The iphlpsvc service depends on the WinHttpAutoProxySvc service which failed to start because of the following error: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it." Services (Services and Applications shows the program to be disabled. To the best of my knowledge I have not disabled this program; this may have been done a few years ago when I had it serviced. Under Actions, all options are greyed out.


Should I enable WinHttpAutoProxySvc service, and, if so, how do I do this?

Help with the Windows Search Service failed

Hi,

Having some damaged system components is one of the possible causes why the services in the system are failing. For us to provide an accurate solution, we would need you to answer the following questions:

• Which build, version and edition of Windows is installed on your computer?
• What changes have you made to your computer before this issue occurred?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

In the meantime, we suggest refreshing the Windows Search service. To do so, follow these steps:

• Press the Windows key + R to pull-up the Run box.
• In the Run box, type services.msc and then hit the Enter key.
• In the Services window, look for Windows Search, right-click on it and then choose Stop.
• Restart your computer.
• Pull-up the Services window again.
• Look for Windows Search, right-click on it and then choose Start.

We are looking forward to your response.
