Getting Gpsvc service failed to sign error randomly.

Question

We have applied policies in our windows 10 21H2 machine. Sometimes when the system reboots or started manually we get the error Gpsvc service Failed to Sign in error. If we remove all the applied policies we do not get this error no matter we reboot or shutdown and start it multiple times. What could be the reason here and how can it be fixed ? We want to keep the policies in place and also this error to not occur.

Hello,

Log on system using local admin account and check below registry setting.

1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

Make sure that the gpsvc key exists and has %systemroot%\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs –p specified for ImagePath.

2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Svchost

Make sure that there is GPSvsGroup in the list of the parameters.

If the registry key is missing, you can import the service registry key from another working computer, or check and repair the Windows image using these commands:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

sfc /scannow
