When a service suddenly stops, you may receive the following error message:
Error 1058: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.
You may also receive this error message when you try to start a service.
This issue can occur if the service is disabled or if the service is disabled for the hardware profile that you are currently using.
To resolve this issue, follow the steps for your operating system.

- Scroll until you find the service that is stopped or disabled.
