Hello  Muzzamiluddin Mohammed，

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

Your solution seems to be correct. If the Netlogon or Workstation service is not starting, checking its dependencies is a good first step. Using the cmdlets you mentioned on Administrative CMD can help identify any disabled dependencies, such as mrxsmb10. Setting mrxsmb10 to auto run using the command line "sc.exe config mrxsmb10 start= auto" and restarting the machine to apply the changes can help resolve the issue. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask.

I hope the information above is helpful.

Answer 4

-- WARNING - DO NOT ENABLE SMBv1 (mrxsmb10) --

It is deprecated and is a huge security vulnerability. The Workstation service in versions of Windows above Windows 7 does NOT depend on SMBv1 to start, only SMBv2.
