Windows在后台运行许多程序作为服务^(Services)。某些Windows 服务^(Services)依赖于其他服务才能工作。这类似于公司的一个部门需要另一个部门的帮助才能完成工作。当服务失败并显示错误消息 -依赖服务或组^{(The dependency service or group)} 无法启动时^{( failed to start)}，这意味着相关服务未运行或无法启动。在这篇文章中，我们正在研究各种场景，并向您展示如何解决此问题。

如何查找Windows 服务的依赖项^{(Windows Service)}

要查找 Windows 服务的依赖项^{(find the Dependencies of a Windows Service)}，您需要打开 Windows 服务管理器^{(open Windows Services Manager)}，选择有问题的服务，右键单击它，然后选择属性^(Properties)。切换到依赖项^{(Dependencies)}选项卡。在这里，您可以看到该服务所依赖的服务列表以及依赖该服务的其他服务。

依赖服务^(Service)或组^(Group)无法启动

如果您收到此错误消息，请确保该服务所依赖的所有服务^(Services)已启动并正在运行。如果没有，请在右键单击依赖项服务后手动启动^(Start)或重新启动服务。^(Restart)

常见故障排除步骤

还有一些适用于此问题的常见故障排除步骤，您可以在处理特定服务的问题之前执行这些步骤：

1]将“Localservice”和“Networkservice”添加到管理员组^{(Administrator Group)}

运行以下命令以确保您的网络服务正常工作：

在搜索栏上搜索命令提示符。

右键单击^{(Right-click)}“命令提示符”，然后单击以管理员身份运行。^(Run)

键入以下命令并在键入每个命令后按Enter 。

I am sure there are tons of service-related issues on Windows 11/10. If you have faced any, let us know in the comments.

提示^(TIP)：如果Windows 服务没有启动^{(Windows Services do not start)}，这篇文章将对您有所帮助。

The dependency Service or Group failed to start in Windows 11/10

Windows runs a lot of programs in the background as Services. Some Windows Services depend on another servіce tо work. It is simіlar to how one department in a company needs the help of anothеr department to сomplete its job. When a service fails with an error message — The dependency service or group failed to start, it means that a related service is not running or has failed to start. In this post, we are looking at various scenarios, and show you how to resolve this issue.

How to find dependencies of a Windows Service

To find the Dependencies of a Windows Service, you need to open Windows Services Manager, select the service in question, right-click on it, and select Properties. Switch to the Dependencies tab. Here you can see a list of services on which this service depends and other services which depend on this service.

The dependency Service or Group failed to start

If you receive this error message, make sure that all the Services, on which this service is dependent on, is started and running. If not, Start or Restart the service manually, after right-clicking on the dependency service.

Common troubleshooting steps

There are also some common troubleshooting steps that apply to this issue which you can undertake before proceeding to problems with specific Services:

1]  Add “Localservice” and “Networkservice” to Administrator Group

Run the following commands to ensure that your network services are working fine:

Search for the command prompt on the search bar.

Right-click on ‘command prompt’ and click on Run as administrator.

Type the following commands and press Enter after typing each command.

net localgroup administrators localservice /add

net localgroup administrators networkservice /add

Restart the computer and see.

2] Change Windows PC option to Normal Startup

If your Windows PC is configured to start in Selective Startup mode or Diagnostic Startup mode, then you need to change the Startup mode to Normal. To do this,

• Press Win+R to open Run box, type msconfig and hit Enter.
• The System Configuration box will open
• Under the General tab locate Normal Startup option
• Select it, click on Apply/OK and restart your computer.

See if the issue is resolved.

3] Check the status of Network-related Services

Open Windows Service Manager and ensure that the Startup type to the following Services is as per Windows default. Also, ensure that they are started:

• Application Layer Gateway Service – Manual Triggered
• Network Connections – Manual
• Network Location Awareness  –  Manual
• Plug and Play – Manual
• Remote Access Auto Connection Manager – Manual
• Remote Access Connection Manager – Automatic
• Remote Procedure Call (RPC) – Automatic
• Telephony – Manual

To make changes, right-click on the Service, select properties and do the needful.

Troubleshooting for specific Services discussed

We have discussed below and linked to specific posts that discuss specific scenarios:

1] Windows could not the start Peer Networking Grouping Service

It occurs with Homegroup functionality in Windows. You need to make sure related services, i.e., Peer Name Resolution Protocol, Peer Networking Grouping, Peer Networking Identity Manager, and PNRP Machine Name Publication Service are running. More on how to solve it using Homegroup troubleshooter, MachineKeys and more.

2] Print Spooler Service Error 1068, The dependency service or group failed to start

Responsible for managing all print jobs and handles, it fails with Error 1068. It’s because the related services —Remote Procedure Control (RPC) Service and HTTP Service are not running. You can fix them using Printer Troubleshooter, Registry edit, and more.

3] Windows Firewall service does not start

If you receive error messages such as Windows Firewall is not the default firewall or Windows could not start the Windows Firewall, it can be because of multiple reasons. An Antivirus, corrupt system files, stopped Windows Firewall Authorization Driver (mdsdrv.sys).

4] Windows could not start the WLAN AutoConfig Service

WLAN AutoConfig service is needed to make sure the internet is working correctly on Windows 10.

5] The Print Spooler Service is not running

The error occurs when the local Print Spooler service is not running. You need to restart the print spooler service and fix it.

6] The Audio Service is not running

When the audio service doesn’t run, you will see a red X mark on the Speaker icon in the Notification Area. When you hover over the icon, you see a message The Audio Service is not running on your Windows 10/8/7 computer. Read more in our guide to fix it.

7] Windows Event Log Service not starting or is unavailable

Windows Event Log service maintains a set of event logs that the system, system components, and applications use to record events. These longs are then sent to Microsoft for further analysis and find a solution. If it’s not up and running, you will have to check on  Task Scheduler, Windows Event Calendar, and Messenger Sharing Folders to find a solution.

I am sure there are tons of service-related issues on Windows 11/10. If you have faced any, let us know in the comments.
