Why can't I restart service "Windows Event Log" in Domain Controller Server?

Question

Answer 1

Hello JanakKhadka,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Do you stop the "Windows Event Log" service on DC manually and now you want to start it manually? If so, when I stop the "Windows Event Log" service manually on DC in my lab, it prompts me "Network List Service" and "Network Location Awareness" service will also stop.

You can try to start "Network List Service" and "Network Location Awareness" service first, and then start "Windows Event Log" service on DC to see if you can.

If it does not work, what change have you made, then "Windows Event Log" service on DC stops? You can try to undo the change you made to see if it helps.

I hope the information above is helpful.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

Best Regards,

Daisy Zhou

Hello,

 

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Error 1601 indicates that service controller didn't get and handle the request properly. To resolve this issue, please run "Win + R" and put in services.msc to open "Service". Check if Application Information Service is running properly, if not please start/restart it.

After that please kindly restart the machine to give another and see if it works or not.

 

Best regards，

Jill Zhou
