How to fix Error 1061 in Windows?
There are an array of methods you can use to fix Error 1061. Let’s go through these methods in detail. starting with the first method i.e Restart the Credential Manager Service.
Method 1: Restart the Credential Manager Service
Step 1: Open the Windows Run by pressing the Windows Key and R at the same time. In that open the services running window and type the command as follows:
services.msc
Step 2: Scroll down and find Credential Manager in the services. You need to see its properties. To do so, double-click on it.
Step 3: This will open the Properties window of the Credential Manager. Now, in the startup type, select Automatic.
Step 4: Run the manager again by clicking Start and click the Apply button and then the OK button to save the changes.
This will solve the Error 1061 problem caused due to disabling Credential Manager.
Method 2: Run Application Information Service
Sometimes, Error 1061 occurs when the Application information service is not running or is disabled for some reason. The Application Information Service usually runs many system applications with additional administrator privileges.
When disabled, some essential applications may not be given access to the admin system. Thus, when run, it may display 1061. Fortunately, checking whether the Application Information Service is running or not is a simple task. To check that follow the following steps:
Step 1: Similar to Method 1, we need to navigate to the Services window. Press Win and R to open the services page.
Step 2: In the services window, we need to view the properties of the Application Information Service to fix the error.
Step 3: After finding it, double-click on the service to open the Properties window. Now, click the Start button if it is not running in the Properties Window.
Step 4: Apply and save these changes. Other than the Application Information Service, similarly check whether these other systems are running. If they are not, start all of these programs as shown below:
1. Application Layer Gateway Service
2. N/W (Network) Connections
3. NLA (Network Location Awareness)
4. Plug and Play
5. Remote Access Auto Connection Manager
6. Remote Access Connection Manager
7. RPC (Remote Procedure Call)
8. Telephony
After running all these services, Error 1061 will not persist and be solved. All these applications work on the network and provide admin privileges to applications. Hence, they are given access to almost everything in the Windows system.
IMPORTANT: Close all the property tabs after you’re done, or else, the services window will not close.
Fix Error 1061: The Service Cannot Accept Control Messages
When you are trying to sync up your app data on your device, more often than not you have come across this error-
This happens quite often in systems, especially in those with low RAM (Random Access Memory) capacity which will cause system lag. When you’re running high RAM-usage applications and try to run another application parallelly, this may cause error 1061.
Another major cause for Error 1061 is network issues. Maybe you may not have a stable internet connection while running a network-based application.
