ERROR_CANNOT_DETECT_DRIVER_FAILURE
ERROR_CANNOT_DETECT_DRIVER_FAILURE (1080, 0x00000438) means that failure actions were requested for a driver service, but Windows supports those actions only for Win32 services.
What failure actions apply to
Service failure actions are the restart, reboot or command actions configured for a service after it fails. They are designed for user-mode Win32 services managed as processes. A kernel or file-system driver has a different lifecycle, so the Service Control Manager cannot apply the same process-failure model.
What to do instead
Confirm the service type before configuring recovery actions. For driver failures, diagnose the driver load, initialization and kernel error path using the appropriate driver logs, Event Viewer and crash or dump analysis. Do not assume that setting automatic service recovery can restart a failed driver.
