IIS problem, cannot start Windows Process Activation Service on Windows 10 1909, Error 30

When I try to start service "Windows Process Activation Service", I get Error 30: The system cannot read from the specified device.

Try to find Error 30 in Google、Baidu，get nothing.

P.S: "C:\inetpub\temp\appPools" is exist, and I give it all permission.

Solution

  • Finally!!!! I get it done!

    1. Find a normal computer(WAS Service is running), backup "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WAS", then back to your computer.

    2. run cmd in Admin Mode, run"sc delete WAS".

    3. run "sc create WAS binpath="c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe -k iissvcs" DisplayName="Windows Process Activation Service" type=share error=normal start=delayed-auto depend=RPCSS".

    4. Restore the registry with your backup.

    5. Start WAS Service!
