System Event Notification Service

Hello

 

I frequently get the following error message when Windows 7 starts.

 

"Failed to connect to a Windows service. Windows could not connect to the System Event Notification Service"

 

From searching on Google I have found that a temporary fix is to restart in Safe Mode and then from the Command Prompt type

 

netsh winsock reset catalog

 

This cures the problem for a few weeks and then it recurs

 

Does anyone have a permanent fix please?

Welcome,

That sounds like a question for the Microsoft site and one of their forums

Keep us posted

Microsoft indicates this is an issue caused by background programs, especially security programs...  and they need to update their software.  Does Norton have an update?
