    1. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
    2. Type services.msc and press Enter. This opens the Services management console.
    3. In the list, find the service that is giving you the error (e.g., Windows Update, Windows Audio, etc.).
    4. Right-click on the service and select Properties.
    5. In the properties window, look for Startup type.
    6. If it is set to Disabled, click the dropdown and change it to Manual.
    7. Manual means it will start only when needed by another service or process. This is a safe choice.
    8. Automatic means it will start when Windows boots. Only choose this if you know this service is critical and should always run.
    9. Click Apply.
  • Try repairing the app from Settings > Apps > Installed apps > select the app > Advanced options > Repair.
