I notice in Microsoft's event log, the following warning:
The Google Update Service (gupdate) service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified.

That looks like you cut and pasted the actual text.
Did it really say "The Service service failed"? _Very_ sloppy if so!
[In addition to Paul's response:]
There are umpteen services with names "<something> Service". These
'things' *are* services, so it's perfectly fine to say
"The <something> Service service failed ..."
That makes sense.
or .... "The <something> service failed ..."??
I mean that tells us a service failed and which particular service failed.
That's what I meant, but the names of the services *contain* the word "Service", for example "Bluetooth Support Service", so if that service
fails, the error message would be
"The Bluetooth Support Service service failed ..."

As I said, there are many of those. On my Windows 11 system, just the

So possibly well over a hundred in total.
