I'm used to use this service because I like to use my wireless card as a hotspot, but since yesterday the service doesn't start anymore. The last time I tried to enable connection sharing, COM Surrogate stopped responding so I saw ICS service was stuck at "starting" and never starts. I already restarted my computer, checked service's dependencies, disabled firewall and nothing worked.

What's going on?

  • @spikey_richie, yes, but I've see nothing special. When I disabled service and enabled manually after restart, I get the error 1053: "the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion".

  • Presumably this is on a mobile device (laptop/tablet) using an onboard SIM card and sharing that connection out via wifi? Nov 20, 2017 at 14:45
  • @DigitalLightcraft, yes, a laptop but not SIM card. I want to share my Ethernet connection via wifi. I did it a lot of times, but since yesterday this problem started.

  • The answer to that other question says, “As was later discovered in the TenForums post, resetting Windows Defender Firewall fixes this issue.”  Have you tried that? Nov 20, 2017 at 20:32
