Win 10 disabling Recording Service

[Reddwarf]

Is there a way to prevent Win 10 from disabling the recording service?

Perhaps you changed it in the Service Properties, (I do this on clients) The default installation Startup Type is Automatic.

I can think of a workaround. Make a powershell script that checks if the service is running, and if it isn't then have powershell start the service. Put that script in your task scheduler and have it run every few minutes.

Something like below:
$servicestatus = Get-Service "npvr recording service" | select -ExpandProperty status
if ($servicestatus -ne "Running") {Start-Service "npvr recording service"}

However, you might need to make sure that's all correct since I don't normally powershell script and I might be misremembering the syntax.

The problem is not that it is not running, the problem is that it gets disabled by Windows Update and can't be started...

In that case you can use [set-service "npvr recording service" -startuptype automatic] in the script and then use start-service

Thanks, I will try that The problem does not occur on all my computers, just the one's running win-10.
