    Windows could not start the software licensing service on local computer

    Error 0xc004d103: 0xc004d103


    Well, that's an improvement of sorts :)

    Please run SC QC SLSVC  again so we can check the account is set right.
     
    Post an updated MGADiag report as well - it may trigger a self-heal.

    OK - the output form the SC QC looks fine, now.
    Hmm - your error message (Error 0xc004d103) is not a familiar one.
    let's try an alternative way to start the service - it may produce a more informative message.
     
    Click on the Start button
    In the Search box, type
    CMD
    and wait for the system to find the file CMD.EXE - right click on the found file, and select Run As Administrator.
    accept the UAC prompt if you get one.
    in the Command Prompt window, type
     
    NET START SLSVC
     
    and hit the Enter Key
     
    What response and/or error message do you get then?
     
    If it's 'System Error 5', then you have a problem...
    to quote Darin
    <quote>
    If you receive any other error (System Error 5, System Error 57346 or System Error 54273): These occur as a result of massive file corruption.  We do not know what the root cause of the corruption is and this can be caused by any situation where files could be corrupted. However, from troubleshooting others that had this issue, the likeliest causes are either Malware Infection or failing Hard Drive.

    C:\Users\User>NET START SLSVC
    System error 5 has occurred.

    Access is denied.

    Thank you so much for your help, Noel

    Is this problem serious?
    Obviously I've run a malware scan so would you say my the hard drive is failing? What should I do?


    Yes, the problem is serious.
    If you want to check the HD, then use the manufacturer's utility to test it, rather than the CHKDSK provided in windows.

    Did you set the Service to Auto (delayed)?
    Did you attempt to start it manually?
    What happened when you tried to Start the service?? - as you say, the service is still not running.

    Sorry - my fault there (was thinking it was Win 7)  - just Automatic start is fine.
    What happens when you try to start it? does it actually start? Does it start, and almost immediately stop? Do you get an error message?

    service status shows stopped before clicking start

    i click start it changes to started then when finished changes back to stopped


    This is almost certainly the action of malware of some kind.
    Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (www.malwarebytes.org ) install it, update it, and run a Full system scan in your main User profile and a Quick scan in any other user profiles on the machine.
    Remove everything it finds.
    See if that helps.

    Ahah! - we have progress :)
    The Service_Start_Name should be NT_Authority\NetworkService.
     
    Click on Start
    in the Search box, type
    SERVICES.MSC
    and hit the Enter key.
    Accept the UAC prompt if you get one.
    In the Services panel, look for the Software Licensing Service, and double-click on it.
    This should open the Properties panel.
    Click on the 'Log On' tab
    make sure that the 'This account' dropdown box is set to 'Network Service' and then OK out (there's no password required), and reboot -
    then try another MGADiag report, and post the result.

    How did you attempt to change the Account?
    Click on Start
    In the Search box, type
    SERVICES.MSC
    and hit the Enter key - accept the UAC prompt that comes up
    Look for the Software Licensing service in the list, and double-click it
    Click on the Log On tab
    Ensure the 'blob' is next to 'This account', and then click on Browse.
    Click on Advanced
    Click on Find Now
    select  NETWORK SERVICE and click OK
    OK out and reboot

    At the end where you say "Ok out and reboot" I click ok and it asked for a valid password. So I would need to cancel out?

    Well, that's an improvement of sorts :)

    Please run SC QC SLSVC  again so we can check the account is set right.
     
    Post an updated MGADiag report as well - it may trigger a self-heal.

    Windows could not start the software licensing service on local computer

    Error 0xc004d103: 0xc004d103


    Well, that's an improvement of sorts :)

    Please run SC QC SLSVC  again so we can check the account is set right.
     
    Post an updated MGADiag report as well - it may trigger a self-heal.

    OK - the output form the SC QC looks fine, now.
    Hmm - your error message (Error 0xc004d103) is not a familiar one.
    let's try an alternative way to start the service - it may produce a more informative message.
     
    Click on the Start button
    In the Search box, type
    CMD
    and wait for the system to find the file CMD.EXE - right click on the found file, and select Run As Administrator.
    accept the UAC prompt if you get one.
    in the Command Prompt window, type
     
    NET START SLSVC
     
    and hit the Enter Key
     
    What response and/or error message do you get then?
     
    If it's 'System Error 5', then you have a problem...

However, from troubleshooting others that had this issue, the likeliest causes are either Malware Infection or failing Hard Drive.

    Thank you so much for your help, Noel

    Is this problem serious?
    Obviously I've run a malware scan so would you say my the hard drive is failing? What should I do?

    Yes, the problem is serious.
    If you want to check the HD, then use the manufacturer's utility to test it, rather than the CHKDSK provided in windows.
