Getting Error "Unable to connect to a phone. Make sure the Windows Phone IP over USB transport service is running"

Question

I bought a Lumia 630 dual SIM recently and has been trying to register my phone for development, but kept getting this error "Unable to connect to a phone. Make sure the Windows Phone IP over USB transport service is running".

What i use to register my phone is Windows Phone Developer Registration(8.1), and the method i have tried:

1. Restart IpOverUsbSvc service.

2. Restart phone, and turn off Set Automatic in date+time.

Any help on this will be highly appreciate as I have already spent 2-3 days trying to connect the phone.

Thank you.

I had to go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services

Windows Phone IP Over USB Transport Service.

My device is now working.
