Re: Windows Fails to Start Windows Firewall Service


This worked for me:

Go into the registry editor and browse to the following keys. You will
need to set the permissions for the following account NT Service\MpsSvc.
The correct value is below the location path.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Epoch

Query Value;Set Value

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy

Full Control;Read

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Defaults\FirewallPolicy

Full Control;Read
For the DHCP Client service, the issue may occur if the ?NT
Service\DHCP? account does not have the necessary permissions for the
following keys:

Registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dhcp
permission needed: Query value, Create value, Enumerate Subkeys,
Notify, Read Control

Registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dhcp\Configurations
permission needed: Full Control, Read

For the ?Diagnostic Policy Service? service, the issue may occur when
the account Trustedinstaller is missing the permissions for the key
below:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DPS\Parameters

permission needed: Full Control, Read
