A Service does not start error with Event ID 7000, 7011, 7009 in Windows 10

If when you start your Windows computer, a Service does not start, and event ID 7000, 7009 or 7011 are logged in the Windows Event Log, then this post may be able to help you. In this post, we will offer a workaround to address this issue.

A Service does not start – Event ID 7000, 7009, 7011

The error events may appear in the Application log in the following format:

Event 1

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7000

TheВ ServiceNameВ service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

Event 2

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7011

Description:
Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for a transaction response from theВ ServiceNameВ service.

Event 3

Event Type: Error
Source: Service Control Manager
Event ID: 7009
Task Category: None

A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for theВ ServiceNameВ service to connect.

To work around this problem, you need to modify the Registry to increase the default time-out value to 60 seconds for the service control manager.

The service control manager waits for the time that is specified by the ServicesPipeTimeout entry before logging event 7000, 7011 or 7009. Services that depend on the Windows Trace Session Manager service may require more than 60 seconds to start. Therefore, increase the ServicesPipeTimeout В value appropriately to give all the dependent services enough time to start.

Since this is a registry operation, you should first back up the registry or create a system restore point in case the procedure goes wrong. Once you have taken the necessary precautionary measure, you can then proceed as follows.

4. Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout, and then clickВ Modify to edit its Properties.

6. Click OK.

7. Restart the computer for the changes to take effect.

Your issue should be resolved.
