Trying to connect with another computer on my home network. Has not
been
connected for several months. The error message reads "Diagnostic
Policy
Service is not running"

I cannot find a service with that name. During a fit of temporary
insanity
I may have turned the service or services off. Any Ideas?

You stated that you cannot find the service. Just to be sure, type
services.msc in the search window and select it in the pop-up menu.

The Diagnostic Policy Service has no dependencies and in order to
delete a
service you must use an Administrator Command Prompt or (some other
app) to
remove a service. Do you recall doing that?

No, I haven't deleted it, and found it the way you and some others
mentioned. However it still gives that message and I can't connect
with other machines. Thank you all for the help.


Are you getting an error 5 ?

(Which is a permissions error, like what happens when a job needs
Administrator, but it didn't get elevated properly.)

Administrator command prompt:

net localgroup Administrators /add networkservice
net localgroup Administrators /add localservice
exit

restart your computer

The suggestions there, are about the same as the drivereasy ones.

And if you don't like the idea of "/add",
you could check the syntax and see if "query"
is an option. And query what is already there.

One poster in that thread, reported that a certain update
screwed that up.
