Windows could not connect to the system event notification service

I'm wondering if maybe my OS just got a tad corrupted or something. Possibly a repair install is in order.

I still have no real idea though. I'm just throwing up ideas.

The message about dependencies seems to be correct in what it says. If you do not know, the Services.msc panel is where you can check the properties of services. One of the tabs shows the dependencies for that service. If one of those is not running the service cannot start up.

The network list service, service depnds on he network location awareness service which failed to start because of the following error: the dependency service or group failed to start

Look at the dependencies for the Network List service. You will see network location awareness listed as a dependency, along with Remote Procedure Call, and other items under those headings. If you can track back the dependencies until you find something not running or can't be started, and figure out why, you might find the answer.


For instance, the message says the Network location awareness failed to start. Is it running or stopped? Can you start it or do you get some kind of message. This service depends on Network Store interface Service, Remote Procedure Call and TCP/IP Protocol Driver. Are they all started or able to start, and so on. The TCP/IP protocol driver has a different symbol, so it might be a driver and not a service

Also, make sure and check the WSearch, service (Windows Search I think) to see what is happening with it.

Let us know if you run into a problem or need to know what should or should no be currently running and we can check our systems to compare. I will be back tomorrow...

I have gone through and checked the dependencies on your services. From what I see, they should all be running. All are set to Automatic Start except for Network List Service, which is set to manual. WSearch is set to Automatic (Delayed) start.

TCP/IP starts at boot and NSI proxy is started by the SYSTEM.

If you haven't tried reinstalling yet, it might be the best choice, as you mention. I saw threads that seem to mention a virus or even some update or software install may be involved, but no way to tell. If you reinstall and see these components, then you can watch them to make sure the problem does not reoccur.

Ah, well the day before this problem occured I did my monthly set of virus scans. Also didd boot time scans once the problem happened as well. So im sure its not a virus, but I think I will try a repair install, if that doesnt solve it ill probably nuke the drive and do a clean install.

So I did this method found here.

And it actually has fixed my problem (at least temporarily). I did a few boot ups. And it seems to be functioning fine.

Tomorrow I will post information on if the problem has returned or not.

If so. Hopefully this thread will help others in the future.

Keep you posted!

Well, this fix only helped temporarily.

Once the problem returned I did a clean install, however after applying a few windows updates the problem has yet again return.

This is no longer a software issue for my case. I am now left to call my warranty service.

Just got done contacting them. All they had to say was to not update windows...in other words theyre not going to help.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem of mine is appreciated...thanks...
