  • It looks like this is now fixed. The SSDP
    Discovery service
     
     would shut down with the event error at the beginning of this thread. This service is dependent on the HTTP service and I couldn’t find where I could adjust the authority that this service runs under. As a result of searching the Registry I found the
    location of the file that controls the HTTP service:

    C:WindowsSystem32drivershttp.sys

    I edited the permissions of this file by:

    1 — Right click the file and select Properties
    2 — Select the Security tab
    3 — Click the Edit button
    4 — Click the Add button and enter LOCAL SERVICE.

    I assigned Full control. As time goes on I’ll back off on these permissions but I want to demonstrate for now that this is working. The  LOCAL SERVICE permission matches the authority that the SSDP Discovery service runs under so I believe
    that this will solve the problem.

FIX: Error 1079: The Account Specified For This Service Is Different

There might be different reasons why you can’t start a particular service in Windows. This article talks about one of those common issue which occurs when the service is failed to start because of incorrect account.

Actually, recently we faced this problem on our Windows 10 Enterprise running system. We tried to start to Diagnostics Policy Service and it failed to start with following message:

Windows could not start the Diagnostics Policy Service service on Local Computer.

Error 1079: The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process.

Microsoft says, this issue is expected to occur when the service is started with local system account instead of Local Service account. Because the local system account do not carry the required permissions to run such services. Due to lack of permissions, Windows can’t start the service and throws the error message 1079 immediately.

So in case if you’re also facing this issue, here’s how you can fix it.

FIX: Error 1079: The Account Specified For This Service Is Different From The Account Specified For Other Services Running In The Same Process

1. Press + R and type services.msc in the Run dialog box, hit Enter key to open Services snap-in.

2. In Services snap-in window, right click on the service with which you’re facing this issue, select Properties.

3. On the property sheet, switch to Log On tab. Select This account and then click Browse.

4. Moving on, in Select User window, click Advanced.

5. In next window, click on Find Now. From Search results, select LOCAL SERVICE and click OK.

6. Then again in Select User window, click OK.

7. Back to service property sheet, as Local Service is added now, make sure you keep Password and Confirm password fields blank. Click Apply, OK.

Now try to start the service and it should be started without any issue. Checkout following video to illustrate this fix:

Hope this helps!

Hello Kapil Arya. I just tried the steps you outlined in “https://www.kapilarya.com/fix-error-1079-the-account-specified-for-this-service-is-different” but my audio is still not working. My laptop is running Windows 8.1. Please what else can I do? I’ve tried so many tips got from the Microsoft support community and even hp support (I’m using HP 15 Pavilion) but nothing has worked for me. About a week before this sound problem started, a friend of mine, who is into computer repairs, had reformatted the system drive and reinstalled the original operating system (Windows 8.1 Enterprise) along with the original hardware drivers and software, so I’m not even sure doing another System Recovery would work. I’m so fed up with this problem, I don’t know what next to do. Please help!

^^ Try creating new admin account and check if issue still persists.

Error 1079, Windows Time, Windows Event Log, Windows Firewall services fail to start

Suppose you find that one or more of the following specified services, i.e., Windows Time, Windows Event Log, Windows Firewall services, fail to start, with Error 1079, on your computer running Windows 11/10 or Windows Server. In that case, this article may interest you.

The services in question are:

  • Windows Time (W32Time)
  • Windows Event Log (eventlog)
  • Windows Firewall (MpsSvc)

Windows Time, Event Log, Firewall services fail to start

Every service, every process in Windows 10 has an account associated with it. For Services, it is a Local Service account. These accounts are used to manage system applications on the OS. It may so happen that the services we mentioned above are being managed by the Local System account instead of the Local Service account (NT AUTHORITYLocalService).

It fails because the Local System account doesn’t have sufficient permissions to start the service.

Error 1079, The account specified for this service is different

Moreover, when you try to start the service/s manually, you may receive the following error message:

Error 1079: The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process.

In such a case, KB2478117 recommends that you ensure that the service is being started by the Local System account instead of by the Local Service account (NT AUTHORITYLocalService).

To do so, type services.msc in start search and hit Enter to open Windows Services.

Here is how to change the user for Windows Time Service:

  1. Locate and double-click on Windows Time service.
  2. Switch to the Log On tab
  3. It should be set to Local System account because of which it is failing.
  4. Switch to This account, and then type “NT AUTHORITYLocalService”
  5. You can also click on Browse > Advanced > Find Now and locate the Local Service user account.
  6. Leave both the Password fields blank.
  7. Click Apply and then OK.

To change it for the Firewall Service, scroll down to the service in question, say, Windows Firewall service, and double click on it to open its Properties box.

Click Log On tab, and under This account, type NT AUTHORITYLocalService. You may set both Password fields blank.

In the case of Windows Firewall service, repeat this step for the Base Filtering Engine service, too, as BFE is a service that manages firewall and Internet Protocol security.

Similarly, do so for the Event Log Service.

Now you will be able to start the Services.

How do you set any service/dependent services to run under the NT Authority Local Service account?

It can be done by changing the Log On settings of any service properties. Open Services panel, right-click on any service and select Properties. Then switch to Log On tab and select the This account radio button. Then click on the Browse button, and select the NT Authority Local Service account button. Apply the changes. Next time the service starts, it will run under the NT Authority Local Service account.

То, как вы переключите его в режим обнаружения, во многом зависит от устройства. Клавиатура, мышь и гарнитура обычно имеют кнопку, которую нужно удерживать в течение нескольких секунд. Если вы не уверены, как переключить устройство в режим обнаружения, обратитесь к его руководству для получения дополнительной информации.

Решение 5 — Установите последние обновления

Если на вашем ПК появляется ошибка службы поддержки Bluetooth 1079, вы можете решить эту проблему, просто установив последние обновления. Некоторые ошибки в Windows 10 могут вызывать проблемы с Bluetooth, и лучший способ их исправить — поддерживать систему в актуальном состоянии.

В большинстве случаев Windows 10 автоматически устанавливает отсутствующие обновления, но иногда вы можете пропустить одно или два обновления, что может привести к возникновению этой и других ошибок. Однако вы всегда можете проверить наличие обновлений вручную, выполнив следующие действия:

  1. Откройте приложение «Настройки».
  2. После открытия приложения «Настройки» перейдите в раздел « Обновление и безопасность ».
  3. Теперь нажмите кнопку Проверить наличие обновлений.

Если доступны какие-либо обновления, Windows автоматически загрузит их в фоновом режиме. После загрузки обновлений перезагрузите компьютер, чтобы установить их. После установки последних обновлений проверьте, сохраняется ли проблема.

Решение 6. Выполните сканирование SFC и DISM

По словам пользователей, иногда ошибка службы поддержки Bluetooth 1079 может появиться, если ваша установка Windows 10 повреждена. Однако вы можете решить эту проблему, просто выполнив сканирование SFC и DISM. Это довольно просто сделать, и вы можете сделать это, выполнив следующие действия:

  1. Нажмите Windows Key + X, чтобы открыть меню Win + X. Теперь выберите Командную строку (Admin) из списка. Если командная строка недоступна, вы также можете использовать PowerShell (Admin).

  2. Откроется командная строка. Введите команду sfc / scannow и нажмите Enter.

  3. Теперь сканирование начнется и попробуйте восстановить поврежденные файлы. Этот процесс может занять около 15 минут, поэтому не прерывайте его.

После завершения сканирования SFC проверьте, устранена ли проблема. Если проблема все еще существует, мы рекомендуем вам выполнить сканирование DISM. Для этого выполните следующие действия:

  1. Запустите командную строку от имени администратора.
  2. Введите DISM / Online / Cleanup-Image / RestoreHealth и нажмите Enter, чтобы запустить его.

  3. Сканирование DISM начнется. Это сканирование может занять около 20 минут или более, поэтому не прерывайте его.

После завершения сканирования DISM проверьте, сохраняется ли проблема. Если вы не могли запустить сканирование SFC раньше, вы можете попробовать запустить его сейчас и проверить, решает ли это проблему.

Решение 7 — Создать новую учетную запись пользователя

Служба поддержки Bluetooth 1079 может появиться на вашем компьютере, если ваша учетная запись пользователя повреждена. Поскольку не существует простого способа восстановить вашу учетную запись пользователя, лучшим способом было бы создать новую учетную запись пользователя. Это относительно просто, и вы можете сделать это, выполнив следующие действия:

  1. Откройте приложение «Настройки» и перейдите в раздел « Учетные записи ».

  2. Выберите « Семья и другие люди» в меню слева. Теперь выберите Добавить кого-то еще на этот компьютер.

  3. Выберите У меня нет информации для входа этого человека.

  4. Нажмите Добавить пользователя без учетной записи Microsoft.

  5. Введите имя пользователя для новой учетной записи и нажмите « Далее».

Как только вы создадите новую учетную запись пользователя, переключитесь на нее и проверьте, появляется ли проблема. Если нет, это означает, что ваша старая учетная запись пользователя повреждена, поэтому мы советуем вам переместить все ваши личные файлы в новую учетную запись и начать использовать ее вместо старой.

Это несколько исправлений для ошибки 1079. Лучшее исправление, вероятно, заключается в перенастройке службы поддержки Bluetooth. Если вам все еще нужно починить Bluetooth, ознакомьтесь с этой статьей Windows Report для получения более подробной информации.

Click here to download and start repairing.

You should also switch on the Bluetooth device you’re attempting to pair with the desktop or laptop, and switch it to its discovery mode.

Download PC Repair Tool to quickly find & fix Windows errors automatically

Suppose you find that one or more of the following specified services, i.e., Windows Time, Windows Event Log, Windows Firewall services, fail to start, with Error 1079, on your computer running Windows 11/10 or Windows Server. In that case, this article may interest you.

The services in question are:

  • Windows Time  (W32Time)
  • Windows Event Log  (eventlog)
  • Windows Firewall  (MpsSvc)

Error 1079, The account specified for this service is different

Every service, every process in Windows 10 has an account associated with it. For Services, it is a Local Service account. These accounts are used to manage system applications on the OS. It may so happen that the services we mentioned above are being managed by the Local System account instead of the Local Service account (NT AUTHORITYLocalService).

It fails because the Local System account doesn’t have sufficient permissions to start the service.

Error 1079, The account specified for this service is different

Moreover,  when you try to start the service/s manually, you may receive the following error message:

Error 1079: The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process.

In such a case, KB2478117 recommends that you ensure that the service is being started by the Local System account instead of by the Local Service account (NT AUTHORITYLocalService).

To do so, type services.msc in start search and hit Enter to open Windows Services.

Here is how to change the user for Windows Time Service:

  1. Locate and double-click on Windows Time service.
  2. Switch to the Log On tab
  3. It should be set to Local System account because of which it is failing.
  4. Switch to This account, and then type “NT AUTHORITYLocalService”
  5. You can also click on Browse > Advanced > Find Now and locate the Local Service user account.
  6. Leave both the Password fields blank.
  7. Click Apply and then OK.

To change it for the Firewall Service, scroll down to the service in question, say, Windows Firewall service, and double click on it to open its Properties box.

Click Log On tab, and under This account, type NT AUTHORITYLocalService. You may set both Password fields blank.

Click Apply/OK.

In the case of Windows Firewall service, repeat this step for the Base Filtering Engine service, too, as BFE is a service that manages firewall and Internet Protocol security.

Similarly, do so for the Event Log Service.

Now you will be able to start the Services.

How do you set any service/dependent services to run under the NT Authority Local Service account?

It can be done by changing the Log On settings of any service properties. Open Services panel, right-click on any service and select Properties. Then switch to Log On tab and select the This account radio button. Then click on the Browse button, and select the NT Authority Local Service account button. Apply the changes. Next time the service starts, it will run under the NT Authority Local Service account.

Error 1079: The account specified for this service is different from the …

You probably saw an error message like that when you tried to use the Bluetooth functionality on your PC to connect to or pair with another device. And you knew you had to fix this issue. You are at the right place. We will show you how to do precisely that in this guide.

What if Windows could not start the Bluetooth Support Service?

From the error message you saw, you might have figured out that the problem you are experiencing has something to do with Local system account starting the services. There is more to that.

Well, Windows fails to start the Bluetooth Support Service when the Local System account tries to do the work instead of the Local Service account. The former often lacks the permissions or privileges needed to execute the required operations, so the failure is a consequence of this fact.

We know other forms of the same problem exist thanks to the reports of users we gathered on the web. Here are some of them:

  • The problem defined by this error message: Bluetooth Support Service stopped. Users with systems running Windows 7 are more likely to see this error, but we would prefer to believe that it can come up on other versions of Windows like Windows 8.1 or even the more recent Windows 10.
  • Error 1068 Bluetooth service. All categories of users can receive this notification. The message describes an issue affecting the Bluetooth service, but in reality, the Bluetooth drivers are most likely to be involved.
  • Bluetooth Support Service the system cannot find the path specified. This strain is relatively easy to fix. The downloading and installation of all Windows updates does the trick.
  • General problems also afflict the Bluetooth service. It might be missing, disabled, stopped, and so on. These issues are often a result of corruption in system files. The scanning and fixing of errors using the SFC and DISM tools serve a useful purpose here
  • Windows could not start the Bluetooth Support Service error 1079 and Bluetooth Support Service error 1053. These messages tend to come up when the Bluetooth service is incorrectly configured. The inputting of the correct configuration parameters and a restart of the affected service constitutes the necessary fix.

How to fix Bluetooth Support Service error 1079, 1053, and related problems on Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and Windows 7.

It is time we provided solutions you can try out to fix the issues defined by any form of the Bluetooth Support Service error on the widely-used versions of the Windows. It is imperative you begin with the first fix on the list. If it fails to eliminate your problem, you must continue with the next procedure and keep going until you arrive at the solution that proves the most effective of the lot for you.

Run the Hardware troubleshooter:

Almost all versions of Windows since Windows 7 come with a reasonable number of troubleshooters that users can run to help them diagnose a wide variety of problems and even fix them (if possible). If you are struggling with Bluetooth Support Service errors, then getting help from a problem-fixing tool is very much in order as the first thing you should try.

Follow these instructions to run the required troubleshooter on Windows 10.

  • Open the Settings app by pressing (and holding) the Windows button on your keyboard, then tapping the letter I key. After the program window appears on your screen, click on Update and Security.
  • From the list of options on the left pane, select Troubleshoot. Now you should see the list of troubleshooters for various things on Windows. Go through them to locate Hardware and Devices. Click on this option to highlight it.
  • Click on the Run the troubleshooter button that shows up. The troubleshooter program window should be up by now. Follow the instructions that appear on your screen to help the program do its job well.
  • After the troubleshooter completes its operations, you must close the program windows you opened, then check if the problems affecting your Bluetooth are still there. If the same issues persist, then you might run as well the Bluetooth troubleshooter to see what help you can get from another troubleshooting tool. If this procedure fails to help you, then move to the next fix.

Configure the Bluetooth service:

This particular fix has proven effective for an incredible amount of users who struggled with problems affecting the Bluetooth service. Here, you are going to ensure that the account with the required powers (Local Service account) starts the service instead of the less privileged one (Local System account). Here are the instructions you need to follow to adjust the necessary parameters:

Is your computer running slow or suffering system glitches? If so, it may need maintenance. Try running a dedicated PC optimization tool to check the health of your PC and apply the necessary fixes.

  • Press the Windows button on your keyboard or click on the Windows Start icon that is always present on your desktop screen. Do a quick search by typing the following keyword into the text field present: services

From the results that appear, click on View local services or Local services, depending on what you see.

If you had no success with the above method (especially users with PCs running Windows 7), then you can try out this other method of doing the same thing. Press the Windows button on your keyboard, then tap the letter R key. After the small program window for Run appears, input the following code in the text box present: services.msc

Click on the OK button or tap the Enter key to run the code

  • Now, we expect you to have the Services window up and running. Go through the list of services you see to locate the Bluetooth Support Service. Click on it. The Bluetooth Support Service Properties window should come up.
  • If you notice that the Bluetooth Support Service is disabled, then you must expand the drop-down menu for Startup type, then select Manual from the list of options available.
  • Navigate to the Log On tab to continue. Click on the radio button for This account to select this option (if the Local System account is the current option). In the text field for This account, you must input the following code: NT AUTHORITYLocalService.
  • Leave the text field for Password and Confirm password blank. Click on the Apply button. Click on the OK button to save the changes you have just made.
  • Return to the General tab by clicking on it. Click on the Start button. Windows should initiate the service, and the new Bluetooth Support Service setting should become active.
  • Close the program windows you have running. Verify that the issues you struggled with are now non-existent. Move on if you realize nothing has changed.

Update the driver for the Bluetooth feature on your computer:

If issues affecting the Bluetooth Support Service on your computer are a result of driver problems, then the operations here constitute the fix your PC needs.

If you only recently upgraded the operating system on your device from an older version of Windows (Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, for example) to a newer version of Windows (Windows 10, for example), then there is a good chance that you are using an incompatible driver. You need to download the latest version of the necessary driver (which will be compatible).

Since just one driver is in charge of the Bluetooth functionality on most computers, an update of the driver through Device Manager might be appealing to some. Follow these instructions:

  • Press the Windows button on your keyboard, then tap the letter X to bring up the list of options or programs that make up the Power User Menu. You can obtain the same result by right-clicking on the Windows Start icon that is always visible on your desktop screen.

Select Device Manager

  • The Device Manager program window should be up and running now. Go through the list of drivers available on your PC. Locate Bluetooth or similar option. Click on it.
  • You should see the adapter for the Bluetooth functionality now. Right-click on it, then select Update driver from the short menu list that appears. You will get 2 options.
  1. Most times, we advise users to go with Search automatically for updated driver software. Windows will do what is written in the description of this option to find the drivers you need. Follow any instruction that comes up to ensure the success of the operation.
  2. If Windows failed to find the necessary software (the first option), then you must consider the alternate method. If you want to use the Browse my computer for driver software (second option), then you will have to find and download the files for the updated driver version, but this task is far from being a straightforward one. At this point, it better you choose a slightly different path.

We recommend you download and run Auslogics Driver Updater. With the help of this app, you can employ the automatic method of updating drivers, and this approach is the fastest, safest, and the most efficient means of getting the job done.

Remember to keep your drivers up to date.

You do not have to spend time identifying the affected driver or perform the more strenuous task of finding a replacement for the driver that needs updating. The recommended app will carry out all the necessary operations on your behalf. All you have to do is click on the update button for the Bluetooth driver, and let the app do its job.

You can even go a step further to use the app to update all the device drivers on your computer. After all, a program will help you carry out the numerous operations without you having to do anything. This way, you get to ensure that the interactions between the hardware components (of your PC) and the programs (or software running) on it take place at optimum levels.

As usual, you must restart your PC after updating any driver to let the new software become active. After your PC comes on, allow Windows to settle down, then verify that the Bluetooth Support Service error 1709 or any problem involving the Bluetooth functionality on your device is no more.

Other things to try to fix Bluetooth Support Service errors and related issues

If you are still struggling with the Bluetooth Support Service error 1079 or a similar problem even after you went through the fixes we provided in details, then you might want to check out this list of other things to try to fix the problem. The additional solutions are in fewer words, but they are as potent as the previous ones.

Turn on the Discovery functionality on the other device involved:

If you are unable to resolve the issues affecting Bluetooth by performing operations on your PC, then some changes on the other device involved might prove useful. Ensure that the Bluetooth on that device is on, then switch on the Discovery feature on it (if this functionality is available). Place it in its Discoverable mode if this option is present instead.

The way you carry out the necessary operation depends on the device involved. You might have to press a specific button in a particular way, for example. Consult the manual for the device if you are in doubt on how to do things.

Download and install all the available Windows updates:

The Bluetooth Support Service error problem plaguing your PC might only exist due to unresolved bugs in the Windows operating system environment of your device. It is common knowledge that Microsoft provides patches and bug fixes through Windows updates.

Therefore, you need to download and install all the available Windows updates. This way, the bugs that cause the Bluetooth problems will struggle to exist on the build of Windows your system is running, and you might finally get a reprieve from the issues.

Create a new user account:

If you tried everything to fix the Bluetooth Support Service error 1079 but had no success at all, then there is a good chance that your current user account is corrupted, and the corruption of your profile is what is giving rise to problems like the one affecting your Bluetooth.

Unfortunately, it is incredibly difficult to fix a corrupted user account. Creation of a new profile is the best solution.
