Question

for some strange reason, ‘LocalserviceNoNetworkFirewall’ consumes high memory and is causing issues with starting of credential manager service. any reason why this is taking so much memory? this also causes issues with start button being disabled, cannot start credential manager service

Answer 1

Hello,

Based on your description, my advice is as follows:

1. LocalserviceNoNetworkFirewall occupies higher memory
   (1) Open Task Manager, right-click the process, click "Go to Details" to automatically navigate to the corresponding process, right-click the process, click "Go to Service", restart the "BFE" service;
   (2) After restarting the service, check whether there are any changes.
2. Unable to start The Critical manager
   (1) Open "Services", double-click the Critical Manager service, click "dependencies" to see if the two services it depends on start normally, if not, you can manually start it, and then start the "Credential Manager" service;
   (2) If the above can not help you, check whether there is security software in the system, please uninstall it and try again;
   (3) In addition, it may also be caused by the damage of the system file, you can try to open cmd, run the command "sfc /scannow", the sfc command can be used to check and repair the system file.

Hope my answer helps you!

Best Regards,
Xu Gu

Hello

It is likely that either a 3rd Party Program, a system corruption or a bottleneck on Windows Firewall is causing the issue, please try the next:

• Run an image repair (recommended to run using a downloaded image, mounted) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/repair-a-windows-image?view=windows-11
• Run a clean boot: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-da2f9573-6eec-00ad-2f8a-a97a1807f3dd
• Windows Firewall may be handling too much connections. For this please apply the next change in registry:
  Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer
  Key: Create new, Right-click the blank area on the right pane and select New>DWORD (32-bit) Value. Then name the new key as maxworkitems.
  Value: 1024
• Check the integrity of performance with MSDT. From a command line, go to the path C:\Windows\system32 and run:
  MSDT /id PerformanceDiagnostic
  MSDT /id MaintenanceDiagnostic
  *You will receive a pop-up with a wizard to follow instructions and complete each diagnostic.
