Troubleshoot and Diagnostic Policy not started

@Anak, I have run check disk followed by scannow and...didn't work.

Gone through BitD and found nothing relevant.

Event logs....

The HomeGroup Provider service depends on the Function Discovery Provider Host service which failed to start because of the following error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

The Network List Service service depends on the Network Location Awareness service which failed to start because of the following error:
The dependency service or group failed to start.

And.....

The Diagnostic System Host service terminated with the following error:
The requested control is not valid for this service.

Have you tried creating, and using a different User with Admin rights to see if that makes a difference?

No, but I have read this "The Diagnostic Policy Service is not running" - Microsoft Answers

"This issue may occur when the account Trusted installer is missing the permissions for the key below:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DPS\Parameters
Permission needed: Full Control, Read"

I checked and Trusted Installer was there with the permissions, but I noticed other locations only had "read" permission.

I guess you could open up group policy and enable it and set it you can do this under computer configuration: Type group in the search bar and click on edit group policy. Navigate to the place in the screen shots and make the selections and click apply. You'll know immediately if it works when you run the tool again there no need for reboot.

Thanks - didn't work. :)

That's what mine is set at:

Mine too for trusted installer...would you mind seeing what permissions are set for the others please? Mine are "read" only. I didn't mean trusted installer was only read, just the other locations are.

This event log significant? Or is it just telling there is a problem but not what it is?

"The Diagnostic System Host service terminated with the following error:

Check out the latest problem, lol. This is despite disabling BitD firewall and re-enabling Windows Firewall.

I must be psychic because for some reason the thought came to check the firewall.

I have never known so many problems spring from one piece of software, I wish I had never installed it.
