Network Setup Service service entered the stopped state then started state repeatably

Question

_{Friday, February 7, 2020 3:31 PM}

We have recently deployed a Windows Server 2019 on AWS. We are running IIS, with a WCF service. Connectivity to the service seems to be fine, however, in the Windows event log I'm seeing regular entries of the following :

The Network Setup Service service entered the stopped state.

The Network Setup Service service entered the running state.

I've gone back over the event log from when the instance was first launched and these event entries were not present.  So these entries are as a result of one of the following

•  Installing  WCF / IIS configuration
•  Changed the NIC from DHCP to have two static IP addresses
•  Installed all of the pending Windows Updates. 
•  Disabled TLS 1.0 and make further changes to ensure that the server passed a PCI Compliance  vulnerability scan 

How can I fix this issue?

I would it down to something to do with

Changed the NIC from DHCP to have two static IP addresses

try reverting that to see it is the case.

It doesn't sound like directly an IIS issue.
