Hello there,

I would suggest that you check if you can start the dependency service for DHCP client service.

Is there anything in event viewer?

I would suggest you to use proc mon to identify if there is nothing on the event viewer.

Check that the DHCP server's address pool still has addresses available. You should also check for a network problem in the part of the network where the failing device is connected. It could be an incorrect switch port configuration, or perhaps the switch for your device has disconnected from the rest of the subnet.

Hope this resolves your Query !!
