The smileys arise because of the forum software :) - it's OK, 'cos I read smiley

Your problem is here...

[SC] QueryServiceConfig SUCCESS
SERVICE_NAME: sppsvc
TYPE : 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
START_TYPE : 3 DEMAND_START

The SPPSVC must start automatically, or it will (as you found out) complain.

To reset this properly, please open an Elevated Command Prompt, and run the following command..

SC CONFIG SPPSVC start= delayed-auto

note the spaces!

1) To open an Elevated Command Prompt Window (the ECP window), click on Start, All Programs, Accessories – then right-click on Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator. Accept the UAC prompt.
2) To run the commands easier, highlight the block of commands, and right-click on the highlight – select Copy. In the CP Window, click on the black/white icon at top left – select Paste. The commands will run but may not complete the last command, so hit the Enter Key once.

once complete, reboot the machine TWICE, and then attempt validation at www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate - with luck it will pass.

Then post another MGADiag report.

o.k man l see... so the "problem" comes because I'm so "mad" to keep my system
as much "simple" as I can . I mean, I disabled many services. Some automatic I changed to manual etc.
I don't use even antivirus (it's a secret, keep it between us..)
My win is that I have a super fast system! ... it's like electroshock quick...
and - but, some problems like this wrong notification about genuine...
So before I do anything and before I'll mark the thread as solved
last question if you know -
This service has any other impact in my system out of the "correct notification after demand"?
(thats why when I open explorer it disappears... I suppose..)
If not I'll keep my system like it's now, if yes I'm going to run your command (turn it to automatic) and then send you the MGADiag you asked for..
-Am I thinking right? (99% you'll say NOOO!..)
Again many many thanks that you spend your time for me

* Just now I saw
An event arising for first time, so I believe is from the Mgadiag tool.(?)
Is an error -Source :"Windows activation Technologies"
Health check failure :
hr = 0x8004FE21, HealthStatus: 0x0001000000000000

That error will keep appearing until you have the service configured properly - and generating it will probably take up more processor time than the service does.
Generally, unless you KNOW something in Windows is nor required, it's best to leave it at default settings - the SPPSVC is required.

notis · 01 Apr 2014

It seems I don't get anymore the wrong notification but is too early to be sure.
I'm uploading the report waiting your opinion. Now srv is automatic delayed.
Another -little strange- is, in msconfig I don't have in services tab "software protection" at all. In services everything is right.
I don't believe that I've changed this service to manual. Is it possible that came from an attacker?
I didn't get you well at " unless you KNOW something in Windows is nor required", it doesn't matter...

What I meant by that was that MS spent a lot of time optimising the service configuration so that it covers most potential situations. If you mess with the standard configuration, then it's very likely to give rise to obscure problems at some point.
You should also note that messing with the configuration of the SPPUI Notification service will give rise to a very similar error in WGA.

Depending on how you did your service mods - manually, or using a tweaking tool - it's quite possible that the service was disabled for you by a tool.
Such tools should be used with EXTREME caution - some are produced by people with more eye on the CPU time than on system security, and this can result is hugely lowered barriers to infection.
This particular isn't often seen as a result of malware - but it's certainly possible - it's more often seen as a result of attempts to bypass mandatory activation/validation requirements of Windows

o.k. I got it.
I'm not using tweaking tools. I do everything with caution. (e.g I look first that there aren't any dependencies, get some ideas from "black viper" etc)
Excuse me, I made your life difficult but I started the thread more for to get an idea what is going on, which full you gave me.
I'm going to mark the thread as solved now and I really thank for your patience too.
I wish you've good time

NoelDP · 01 Apr 2014

No problem - last time I looked, though, I'm sure that BV recommended leaving the SPPVC on Delayed-Auto :)

Have fun!
