Hi there,

Windows 8 fails to start the interactive services detection

In fact in Windows 8 this service is set as manual, it is not set as default service. Therefore you get this error.

Follow these steps

1. First of all you will have to adjust a service key by following steps

 

• Hive:HKLM
• Path: system current control set control windows
• DWord: no interactive service

       2.  Change value "1" to "0"

       3. Now start interaction detection service by service.mcs.
