    Workstation service not starting 1068 error


    Hello,

    After I updated Windows 10 Ver 2004, I lost my network drives. While I tried to find solutions, I found out that workstation service was not working 1068 error. I read and tried a couple of solutions described here and there, but nothing worked out. I'm considering downgrade to Ver 1909. Before doing it, I visited here to get new ideas.

    :)

    Cannot start the Computer Browser and Workstation services (Error 1068)

    My Windows 10 PC cannot start the Computer Browser and Workstation services. Because of this I cannot see any other PCs (and my NAS) on my local network. This situation also prevents file and print sharing for this network to be active.
    When I try to manually start the Computer Browser and Workstation services I get the message, "Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start."

    The only changes that I made prior to this problem (that I can recall) is upgrading Virtualbox and the usual Windows 10 updates.

    I have tried several "fixes" from this forum and others with no help. Most are for Windows 7 errors or this type. Nothing has worked so far. Unfortunately I don't have a Restore Point that goes back to before this happened.

    I ran SFC /SCANNOW and it found only one corrupted file:

    "Could not reproject corrupted file [l:23 ml:24]"\??\C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64"\[l:10]"opencl.dll"; source file in store is also corrupted"

    Any new ideas would be appreciative...

    error 1068: Printer Spooler service not working/starting

    Hi,

    A workaround is to remove "http" from the list of Dependencies for Spooler.

    (From Fix Spooler Service Error 1068)

    From an elevated Command Prompt, type:

    SC CONFIG SPOOLER DEPEND= RPCSS

    There is a space after the equal-to sign. Spooler should start now.

    But the other issue why http driver doesn't start, needs troubleshooting.

    In the Admin command prompt window, type:

    NET START HTTP

    Post back the error. (It's probably code 31 again.)

    Workstation service not starting 1068 error

    Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start


    I have an Samsung 850 EVO installed, it lets Windows do the optimization. In doing so the indexing service was disabled. But now I can't get the Streaming service to start. I get the 1068 error when trying to start it.
