ERROR_CANNOT_DETECT_PROCESS_ABORT
ERROR_CANNOT_DETECT_PROCESS_ABORT (1081, 0x00000439) means that the service runs in the same process as the Service Control Manager, so the manager cannot take a recovery action when that process terminates unexpectedly.
Why recovery cannot be configured normally
Failure actions depend on the Service Control Manager being able to observe and react to the termination of a service process. When the service is hosted by the manager's own process, terminating that process would also terminate the component responsible for recovery.
Practical consequence
This is not a request to restart the Service Control Manager. Treat it as a restriction of the recovery-action model for that service type. Investigate the underlying service or system failure through Windows event logs and dump analysis, and use the supported recovery design for the component rather than configuring ordinary service restart actions.
