I just stopped an Application Pool in IIS. When trying to start it, IIS complains that,
The service cannot accept control messages at this time. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80080425).
What gives? Whence did this error come?
Looking at the Event Viewer > System shows these warnings:
A worker process '1456' serving application pool 'MyAppPool' failed to stop a listener channel for protocol 'http' in the allotted time. The data field contains the error number.
A process serving application pool 'MyAppPool' suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service. The process id was '10592'. The data field contains the error number.
A process serving application pool 'MyAppPool' exceeded time limits during shut down. The process id was '10516'.
This resolved itself after about 5-minutes, at which point we tried to restart the website, and received:
The World Wide Web Publish Service (W3SVC) is stopped. Web sites cannot be started unless the World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC) is running.
So, we started the W3SVC service, and then we could start our website.
Right click on “Services” and select “Run as Administrator” In the Services Window, look for Credential Manager Service and “Stop” it. Restart the computer and “Start” the Credential Manager Service and set it to “Automatic”. Restart the computer and it should work fine.
Kill the svchost.exe netsvcs process. Then start the Application Information service from Services. Check all automatic services as a few may have stopped and start them again. This should resolve the issue.
To fix The service cannot accept control messages at this time issue on Windows 11 or Windows 10 computer, you need to restart the Credential Manager service from the Services panel. Apart from that, you need to run or start the Application Information service as well.
This helped me: just wait about a minute or two.
Wait a few minutes, then retry your operation.
