Services - Restore Default Services in Windows 8

How to Restore Default Services in Windows 8 and 8.1

information   Information
This tutorial provides you with registry downloads that will completely restore any of the default services and their settings you want in Windows 8, Windows 8.1,and Windows 8.1 Update. This can be handy if a service was deleted by mistake, is missing, or had it's properties set improperly.

You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to do the steps in this tutorial.

Note   Note
Services are located in the registry location below.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

warning   Warning
If you did not delete a default service, then you might consider doing a full scan of your system at boot with a program like Windows Defender Offline to help make sure that your system is clean.




Here's How:

1. Click/tap on the link under the Display Name column in the table below of the service that you would like to restore to download it's .reg file.

2. Save the .reg file to your desktop.

3. Double click/tap on the downloaded .reg file to merge it.
Tip   Tip
If the .reg file does not merge and nothing happens, then you will need to check in Default Programs to make sure the .reg file extension has its Current Default program set as Registry Editor (C:\Windows\regedit.exe). Afterwards, try merging the REG file again.

4. If prompted, click/tap on Run, Yes (UAC), Yes, and OK.

5. Repeat all of the above steps if you would like to restore another service.

6. When finished, restart the computer to apply.

7. When finished, you can delete the downloaded .reg file(s) if you like.



Note   Note
To download all available default services below in one ZIP folder, click on the Download button below and save the ZIP file to your desktop. Open the ZIP file, and extract (drag and drop) the REG file for the file extension you want to restore to your desktop. Now you could just pick up at step 3 above.

Brink, how can I save the list to print? I selected and copied and pasted in Word, but it cuts off the sides on all 3 paste options.

Hey Clint,

You should be able to click on Tutorial Tools at the top, and click on Show Printable Version to then be able to print that out properly. :)

Thanks Brink, I had never seen that Show Printable Version before. Sorry but that didn't work either. It still cuts off about half the right side. If I do paste as text only it gets it all, but it's like word wrapped.

In that case, I suppose you could take screenshots and print those.

No worries Peter.

Enabled was used to just mean to not be disabled so that you are able to set VSS to "Manual" (default) or "Automatic". VSS is not started (running) by default.

Hi Brink. Your Tutorial scripts are simply outstanding. Thank You

I know this topic is really dated but i cant seem to find a Backup Services State for Windows 8-8.1 like in this link for Windows 10. Is there one someplace i just overlooked?

Basically, it's just exporting and importing the registry key for the service.

Yes i see. Ran across this article.

How to backup Services settings? (enable/manual/disable/etc)

However on the previous page i linked i tried running the Windows 10 VBS Script and it aborts after only a few listings. But it definitely drops a reg file plus a batchfile meant to use for a Restore obviously. I was thinking for sure something the same might been in the Eight Forums but for Windows 8.

On the previous WinHelpOnline page i run across it has this below but does not allow to download. Shows only a error

For older versions of Windows​

For Windows versions earlier than Windows 10 (Windows Vista through Windows 8.1), use the script services_conf_backup.zip. Note that the older script doesn’t support Automatic (delayed start) start type — because of a WMI limitation. It treats Automatic and Automatic (delayed start) as the same.
