Network Setup Service Randomly restarts (NetSetupSvc)

I have been dealing with this issue for months now and have run out of ideas to solve it. Lots of posts around this topic in various forums and no real solution from Microsoft. Has anybody here seen this issue and has a solution been published? Any other ideas to troubleshoot this?

Environment is

  • Windows Server 2022 all updates installed
  • Network Card Firmware / Driver are up to date
  • No AV Installed
  • Setting the service to automatic is not an option and it will go to manual automatically after few mins. Log Name: System Source: Service Control Manager Date: 3/2/2024 8:42:34 AM Event ID: 7036 Task Category: None Level: Information Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: x.y.z.local Description: The Network Setup Service service entered the running state.

Thank you

    Hello

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

    I don't know what troubleshooting you've done. Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem:

    Check for Ghost Network Adapters: Sometimes, ghost network adapters can cause issues. You can remove them by opening Device Manager, selecting "View" > "Show hidden devices," and then uninstalling any ghost network adapters under "Network adapters".

    Check Scheduled Tasks: Verify if there are any scheduled tasks that might be triggering the service to start and stop. You can do this by opening Task Scheduler and reviewing the tasks.

    Check for Dependencies: Ensure that all services that the Network Setup Service depends on are running properly. You can find this information in the service properties under the "Dependencies" tab.

    What does the restart of the network setup service (NetSetupSvc) do and should it happen often - Microsoft Q&A
