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 AUTHORITY\LocalService).
To do so, type services.msc in start search and hit Enter to open Services.
Scroll down to the service in question, say, Windows Firewall service and double click on it to open its Properties box.
