Solved Local Management Service service failed to start: Can't find file

[BrutishRogue]

Good day all. Need some community brain think. Can't solve a start-up problem that is getting worse. Current errors and warnings from Event Viewer:
1) The Intel(R) Management and Security Application Local Management Service service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.
2) Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.
3) The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load: uezndl
4) Custom dynamic link libraries are being loaded for every application. The system administrator should review the list of libraries to ensure they are related to trusted applications.
5) Intel(R) 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection Network link is disconnected.
6) The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device USB\VID_147E&PID_2020\6&2c05599f&0&3.


I have removed Comodo and a bunch of other items to help problem solve. Did a system restore to an earlier point. Hacked around with a few other items. Ran multiple virus scans, disk & memory checks, reset winsock, etc. Attempted Repair at Startup with W7 on Flash drive, but it failed multiple times. I'm at a loss. What sticks out in my mind is the system shows a Windows 8 Product Key on the BIOS, but Windows 7 for system. I wiped the laptop with I first got it and loaded W7. It has run rock solid until last 3 weeks. I don't want to reload W7 from scratch because worried I can't get it updated with all updates through Jan 2020.



Thanks!

Is your drive healthy?

For logical disk issues, run check disk
Open a CMD window as administrator and type:
chkdsk c: /f
It will say your disk is in use and if you want to schedule to next start = yes
Restart
Pay attention on the results, specially bad blocks, bad clusters, bad sectors etc


For hardware problems download and run Crystal Disk info It is a portable, doesn't need to be installed

If disk is logical and hardware healthy, do a Repair Install - to Fix Windows 7

For the updates, run Simplix

Sincere Thanks!
chkdsk: All okay
Crystal disk: no problems all good.
The "Repair Install - to Fix Windows 7" was excellent. Worked better than I could have hoped.
Simplix: easy to utilize and very informative while running.

All programs and docs that were on machine were still there and functioning perfectly. No issues to date. Much better than a clean install.

Overall your advice saved me a lot of hassle and is greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
