  2. 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.

    Dependency service or group failed to start


    Hello, last night I upgraded to win 10 home from win 7. However, I noticed that I was unable to use the Start Menu Search function or open the start menu and found out I was only connected to my Local Area Connection (Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller), and my connection/internet is limited. There were no other connections available or found!
    So I opened up the Network and Sharing Center only to find that where my network should show it says "Unknown - The dependency service or group failed to start."
    In conclusion, I cannot connect to any private networks - possibly because of this dependency service error. Any help or fix would be appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Nick

  4. The dependency service or group failed to start

    Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.

    I tried installing docker today but the installer gave the error that the server service needs to be enabled when I tried enabling the Server service it gave me the following error:

    "Windows could not start the Server service on local computer.
    Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start."

    I have cross checked the dependencies everything seems to be running.

    Really need help with this Thank you.
