Windows Audio Service Failed to Start : Access Denied
We have tried many things with this, i.e. ensuring the service is starting as LocalService,
reinstalling audio drivers, running sfc /scannow
and dism /Online /RestoreHealth
etc.
The only thing that seemed to work is running the below two commands and restarting the Windows Audio
service:
net localgroup Administrators /add networkservice
net localgroup Administrators /add localservice
