STATUS_SERVICES_FAILED_AUTOSTART
One or more services failed during autostart
The status summarizes a service-start phase and does not identify the failing service by itself. Service Control Manager maintains service configuration and dependencies, and each service reports its own state and exit information. The useful diagnostic unit is therefore the set of services that did not reach the expected running state during the transition.
Enumerate service status after the failure and correlate it with SCM events and each service's own logs. Check dependency failures, logon accounts, binary paths, driver/service startup type, and timeout behavior instead of repeatedly rebooting until the aggregate warning disappears.
What to inspect
- List automatic and delayed-auto services that are stopped or stuck in a pending state.
- Capture service-specific Win32 exit codes, service exit codes, and SCM events.
- Resolve the first dependency or startup failure before diagnosing downstream services.
