Solved Windows 11 broken sound slider

No, that only attempts to replace missing or corrupted system files. StateRepositoryMachine (SRM) is an entire Service which manages an internal Windows database for all Store (UWP) apps and System Apps (including Client.CBS).

You're going to spend less time re-installing. Also don't play with UsoSvc, it breaks Windows Updates and Store apps.

Duly noted

@garlin is there a command to set all services to "automatic" ?

edit: I think I'll try modifying my scipt to set all these services starup type to "automatic"....I'll attach the script for you to review

No... and that isn't a good idea.

When you mess up Windows, and don't want to re-install... do an In-Place Upgrade...

An In-Place Upgrade "compares" what is installed on the computer, with the Windows ISO image.
Then, it overwrites any corrupted Windows files, with clean copies from the ISO image.
This is how it "repairs" Windows while allowing you to keep your programs and personal files.

Here is the short version of the In-place upgrade tutorial...

DISABLE non-Microsoft:
a) antivirus software
b) firewall software
c) drive encryption software


Make a full OS backup with a program like Macrium Reflect or AOMEI Backupper Standard
Making a backup is optional, but always a smart move.
Macrium Reflect
AOMEI Backupper Standard (free)
Hasleo Backup Suite (free)



Get the Windows 11 ISO (Option #2), and save it to your desktop...


Right click the ISO image and choose: MOUNT
Open File Explorer and you will see a new drive letter. It will "look" like a DVD optical drive.
Double click the new drive letter to open it.
Find setup.exe and double click it to start the in-place upgrade.

Choose the Keep personal files and apps option.

After it's all done... to UNmount the ISO image, right click the new drive letter and choose: EJECT.

The ONLY thing you will lose is about 1% of your personalizations.
Your drivers, programs and data will be intact.

Some services are protected by TrustedInstaller rights. Therefore you don't have permissions (even as Admin) to change them.

Download PowerRun, open a new CMD with rights.

@Ghot
I'll do this in a virtual box, just for diagnosis

sc config StateRepository start= demand

Genius ! now just to figure out the real cause of this issue.

My point is if SRM wasn't running all the time, you have a corrupted database relative to the installed components. Changing it's run state will do absolutely nothing to repair it.

OK...I have a text file that contains important notes such as this...I'll add this to them for the future...I'm trying to delay the reinstallation of windows till 24H2 rolls out...until then I'll try to experiment a lot with my current system

Update:
modifying my script to make all the disabled services automatic solved the problem....now just to isolate the problematic service, I'' try disabling the services in groups to narrow it down.

Finally found the culprit:

Wi-Fi Direct Services Connection Manager Service (WFDSConMgrSvc)​

setting its startup type to manual will solve the issue.

I mean, who would've thought....I don't even have wi-fi on my desktop pc
