    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

    As I said, there are many of those. On my Windows 11 system, just the
    first page (of some nine pages) of the 'Services' applet (Services.msc)
    output, has already 16 services with the word 'Service' in their names.
    So possibly well over a hundred in total.
