Close Services.msc snap-in and run<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-42102868-1"><span>w32tm /register</span>
</code></pre>
If that doesn't work, restart and run register command
</div>


<div>
I type in net stop w32time and it tells me the service name is invalid. <br />
<br />
I tried typing in w32tm /register and it tells me &quot;the specified service has been marked for deletion&quot;
</div>


<div>
try to unregister it? from elevated command prompt?
</div>


<div>
Is the service disabled? &nbsp;if so set to automatic<br />
<br />
edit: i see you get this: &quot;The specified service has been marked for deletion&quot;
</div>


<div>
if you can't unregister I agree with Shaun, you will probably need a reboot.
</div>


<div>
Okay so I &nbsp;&quot;regsvr32 wuapi.dll&quot; and now it allows me to run w32tm /register. So I try to go through KB's suggestion and it I try to run &quot;net stop w32time&quot; and it gives me access denied.<br />
<br />
Maybe a reboot will help? I cant reboot this machine until after hours though.
</div>


<div>
Please see my video. If commands do not work initially, restart<br />

I am running 2008R2 .I try to start &quot;Windows Time&quot; service and it errors with message below.<br />
<br />
&quot;Error 1058: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it&quot;<br />
<br />
I try to change some settings on the actual service and I get error:<br />

Anybody have any idea what I should do? I have searched and tried editing the registry &quot;w32time&quot;,&quot;tapisrv&quot; registry key. I tried registering W32tm but says it is marked for deletion.
