Services - Restore Default Services in Windows 7

How to Restore Default Services in Windows 7​

   Information

This tutorial provides you with registry downloads that will completely restore any of the default services and their settings you want in Windows 7. This can be handy if a service was deleted by mistake, is missing, or had it's properties set improperly.

You must be logged in as an administrator to be able to do the steps in this tutorial.

   Note

Services are located in the registry location below.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services

   Warning

Do not add a service to a Windows 7 edition that the service was not available in by default. It will not work since it was never included in that edition.

If you did not delete a default service, then you might consider doing a full scan of your system at boot with a program like Windows Defender Offline to help make sure that your system is clean.

Here's How:1. Click on the Display Name link in the table below of the service that you would like to restore to download it's .reg file.

2. Save the .reg file to your desktop.

3. Right click on the downloaded .reg file and click on Merge.
NOTE: If you wish to see what changes will be made by the REG file, then you can right click on the extracted REG file and click on Edit to see the default registry entries that will be added. REG files are just text files. The "Edit" function just opens them in Notepad.

   Tip

If you do not see a Merge option when you right click on the REG file, then you will need to check in Default Programs to set the reg file extension to have it's Current Default program set as Registry Editor (C:\Windows\regedit.exe). Afterwards, try merging the REG file again.

4. If prompted, click on Run, Yes (UAC), Yes, and OK.

5. Repeat all of the above steps if you would like to restore another service.

6. When finished, restart the computer to apply.

7. When finished, you can delete the downloaded .reg file(s) on the desktop if you like

Hopefully someone that does have the Machine Debug Manager (MDM) service on their system will be kind enough to export it from their registry at the location below, and upload it's .reg file soon for you.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services

Here you go, feel free to add it to the list if you like shawn

Yes i know the post is from last year, but maybe someone still needs it.

 

[Brink]

Thank you very much Andrew. Machine Debug Manager (MDM) has been added to the list in the tutorial.

 

[andrew129260]

Hey is there any other services that we would like included on here? I am more then willing to help out, find more if need be.

 

[Brink]

Thank you Andrew. The default ones should be good for now.

I was facing problem in installing and enabling Internet Connection Sharing in Win 7. I searched many websites. But no solution. Luckily I came acroos your site and download registary key and merge it with my registry. And my problem was solved. Thank you very much.

You're most welcome Dripseal, and welcome to Seven Forums. I'm glad it was able to help.

Sorry, but it would be to large to do so.

If you need to restore all of them, then it would be best to do a system restore or reinstall Windows instead.

I would recommend to create a new thread in the Network & Sharing forum area with all details about the issue to see if we may be able to help with it.

Hi.

I've been having some trouble with my computer recently and I traced it back to my services. perfmon /report was indicating that around 9-11 services were being abnormally stopped at start up. So, I used this tutorial to help restore MOST of my services. I still have some problems with two of them.

My computer won't let me completely merge the Diagnostic System Host regedit because it's apparently in "use" by the system. However, the service is stopped, and it has no dependencies so I don't see how that works.

I can't start nor stop the service either - in an elevated command prompt, I get a System Error 5, Access is denied.

The second service that is behaving strangely is Superfetch. I restored it, but it still stops abnormally.

What can I do to fix this?

Hello SDX, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Have you already tried doing a system restore using a restore point dated before you had this issue to see if it may be able to help?

 

[sdx55555]

Yep. I tried about 5 different system restores, and all of them were plagued by the same problem.

Edit: sfc /scannow indicated that there were no integrity errors as well (if that helps)

 

[Brink]

The Diagnostic System Host service is set to "Manual" by default, so you don't need to have it started or automatic.

 

[sdx55555]

Sorry, I didn't want to start it. I wanted to stop the service so I could edit its registry.

 

[Brink]

You should be able to stop the Diagnostic System Host service by typing the command below in an elevated command prompt.

net stop WdiSystemHost

To start it again when ready, use the command below.

net start WdiSystemHost

 

[sdx55555]

Well, I tried that, and it didn't really help too much because I got the same error.

I have another question: what would cause desktop window manager session manager to crash? That's my main problem - this service is stopping and crashing abnormally and when it crashes, I lose my network connection as well.

 

[Brink]

There could be a number of causes. If you like, you could try troubleshooting with a clean startup if it's not crashing while in a clean startup. This will hopefully ID the culprit.

[sdx55555]

Clean boot crashed the service as well

Edit: I think there's a problem with my remote procedure call because that is the one factor that connects a bunch of my crashes. Would restoring it using the file from this thread fix it?
