I might expand on this post. By running C:\windows\system32\services.msc, it
is possible to see which services are set for "automatic" but are not
running. It would probably be one of these that is not starting properly and
is causing the error message.

When you open Task Manager, you'll see a number of "svchost.exe" running.
This is normal.
These are applications ("Service Hosts") which run various groups of
services. Each instance of svchost.exe runs a different group of services.
It's not easy to determine which services are run by each of these files,
without the help of 3rd-party utilities such as Process Explorer (freeware
from www.sysinternals.com).
