    Hello
    
    Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are  having query\issues related  to RDS service cannot start.
    
    1. Disable any Antivirus program or Windows firewall you may have for temporary purpose.
    
    2. Cleanup below Temp folders location -> Open Start -> Run -> Type below location one-by-one and press enter 
        ->  C:\Windows\Temp
        ->   %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp
    
    3. Run Disk Cleanup from Select C:\ Drive from Properties- > General -> Disk Cleanup - >Cleanup system files
    
    4. Run sfc /scannow from elevated prompt.
    
    5.  Run below DISM commands  from elevated prompt.
    
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
    DISM /Online  /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    
    6.  Try starting the service from an administrative command prompt.
    
    C:\windows\System32\svchost.exe -k termsvcs
    
    7.  Please check the dependencies in Services Administrative tool for the Remote Desktop Service and make sure they are started.
