No http service - Windows 10


I can't seem to start my printer spooler service because some of the dependencies have not started.


So I looked at the dependencies in the options menu. I found that there was no HTTP service in my services.msc. So I started looking into how to install the HTTP service manually.


I've gone into Add Programs and Features in the menu and installed all the IIS and World Wide Web Publishing services, but with no avail.


I am trying to install the HTTP service on a development machine which already has an Apache service running. I don't know if this could have an impact on the HTTP service.


Basically I need to know one of two things:


1 - How to install the HTTP service manually from a DLL (I don't think its possible)


2 - How to rectify the problem so that the HTTP service is installed so that I can start the printer spooler.


Just a side note the winhttp.dll file is in my system 32 folder.

EDIT (showing results for sc qc spooler from cmd) from @w32sh

Answer



Services MMC doesn't list http, as it's a driver and not exactly a service.


These two commands will tell you how http driver is configured and what happens whey they start. From Admin Command Prompt, type:


sc qc http

To start http driver:


net start http

(the latter will try to start http, and shows an error code if it fails to start.)
