WDSServer Service Event Error 7011

JCorle 1

I am looking for advice in troubleshooting a WDS server. I have been using the same server for a little over a year, and it ceased responding to PXE boot requests last week. The system log on the server reports a Event 7011 error "A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the WDSServer service."

I have tried spinning up a new virtual server with a fresh install of Server 2019 and ended up with the same results. At this point I am thinking that MS released an update the may have caused an issue.

Any other ideas I can check?

Any joy solving this, I have the same problem on a secondary Site Server with DNS also installed.
Various suggestions point to removing any mention of PXE from DNS Options and re-installing the secondary site server... which I have done.

At some point the Windows Deployment Services Server service says it is 'running' but does not respond to PXE requests.
