To fix it, you’ll need to take the following steps. Let’s explore the above steps in a bit more detail! Type services.msc in the Windows 10 Search box and select the Services option to open the Services snap-in.

Look for the service name that is having an issue. When found, right-click it and select the Properties option. Next, under the service property sheet, switch to the Log On tab. Here, check if the Local System account radio button is checked. If yes, you’ll need to deselect it.
