Facing Event ID 7023 error in Windows 10 and are clueless how to resolve the issue?
If you are one of the curious individuals who like to keep an eye on what is happening under the hood of their operating system, you may find yourself frequently scanning the Event Viewer.
Using the Event Viewer, users can view application and system messages, such as errors, information messages, and warnings, which gives them the ability to troubleshoot a variety of Windows problems.
Recently, a number of users reported that their Windows crashes unexpectedly, and the Event Viewer displays an error message with the Event ID 7023. We had a look into this matter and discovered that it can be caused by a number of reasons, including corrupt system files and termination of the Connected Devices Service.
If you are facing a similar issue, you are in the right place because in this guide, we are going to walk you through several relevant troubleshooting steps in detail.
Let’s get started.
1. Run DISM and SFC Scans.
It is common for the error at hand to occur due to corruption errors in the system. Luckily, Windows comes with several built-in troubleshooting utilities that are specifically designed to tackle issues like the Event ID 7023 error in Windows 10.
Two such handy utilities are DISM and SFC, which scan your operating system for issues, identify them, and then resolve them with little to no users input. If your screen is displaying the Event ID 7023 error, then the first thing that you should do is run DISM and SFC scan.
If a corruption error is a culprit behind the issue, these tools with resolve the issue in no time.
Here is what you need to do:
- Type cmd in the search bar and click on Run as administrator to launch elevated Command Prompt.
- Inside the Command Prompt window, type the command mentioned below and hit Enter to execute it.
sfc /scannow
- If the System File Checker detects issues, it will resolve them. Once done, open Command Prompt by following the first step again.
- Now type the command mentioned below in the elevated Command Prompt and hit Enter to execute the command.
DISM /online /Cleanup-Image / ScanHealth
- Next, execute the following command.
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
- Once done, restart your PC and check if doing so resolved the issue.
If a corruption error or bug within the system was causing the error at hand, running the SFC and DISM scans will resolve the issue.
2. Enable Connected Devices Platform Service.
As we mentioned earlier, the issue at hand can be caused by the termination of the Connected Devices Service.
However, before we proceed with finding a solution, you need to know that this service involves connecting external devices and peripherals. This includes Bluetooth, external storage, keyboard mouse, printers, cameras, and smartphones. In the event that the service is terminated, you may face issues using those devices.
If this scenario is applicable, then simply enabling the Connected Devices Service can help you resolve the issue.
Here is how you can do that:

If the Connected Devices Platform Service was disabled, enabling it will resolve the issue at hand.
3. Enable Network Connection Broker Service.
If you are unable to enable the Connected Devices Platform Service, check whether the dependencies it needs are enabled, which includes Network Connection Broker Service.
In the event that the Network Connection Broker has been stopped, disabled, or is no longer functioning correctly, the Connected Devices Platform Service cannot be launched.
Here is how you can enable Network Connection Broker Service:
- Press Windows + R keys on your keyboard simultaneously to open a Run dialogue box.
- In the text field of the dialogue box, type ‘services.msc‘ and hit Enter. This will launch Services window on your computer.

This should resolve the Event ID 7023 error in Windows 10.
4. Restart the Service.
In case the Connected Devices Platform Service was already enabled, try restarting it.
Restarting the service helps keep it running efficiently and can often speed up performance if you’ve been having issues.
Here is how you can restart the Connected Devices Platform Service on your PC:
- Open the Services window as mentioned earlier.
- Locate Connected Devices Platform Service and double-click on it.
- Go to the Recovery tab and expand the dropdown menu against Subsequent failures.
- Choose Restart the Service and press the Apply button to save your new service settings.
Hopefully, restarting the service will help you fix the error under consideration.
There is a working solution reported on the Microsoft Forums, which relates to Shared experiences, strangely enough.
Several users managed to resolve the issue at hand by enabling the Share across devices option, which is why we encourage you to give it a shot.
Here is all that you need to do:
- Go to Settings and click on System.
- In the next window, select Shared experiences from the left pane.
- Locate Share across devices option in the right pane toggle it on if it’s off.
In case, the error at hand had to do something with the Shared experiences feature, following the steps mentioned above should help you resolve it.
6. Try Using CleanMyPC.

Если вы из тех пользователей, которые заглядывают в просмотр событий Windows 10 (Win+R — eventvwr.msc) для анализа ошибок, с большой вероятностью вы там обнаружите ошибки, имеющих код события 7000, 7001, 7009, 7011, 7023, 7031, 7034, а возможно и некоторыми другими похожими. Сообщения об ошибках могут быть разными, но всегда связаны со службами Windows, например:
- 7000 Служба не ответила на запрос своевременно
- 7001 Служба является зависимой от службы, которую не удалось запустить из-за ошибки Не удалось запустить дочернюю службу
- 7001 Служба является зависимой от службы, которую не удалось запустить из-за ошибки Присоединенное к системе устройство не работает
- 7011 Превышение времени ожидания (60000 мс) при ожидании ответа транзакции от службы
- 7023 Служба завершена из-за ошибки Устройство не готово
- 7031 Служба была неожиданно завершена. Это произошло (раз): 1
- 7034 Служба неожиданно прервана. Это произошло (раз): 1
- 7043 Служба не завершила работу должным образом после получения управления для выполнения предзавершающих операций
В этой инструкции подробно о том, что может вызывать такие ошибки в Windows 10, как исправить ошибки с указанными кодами от источника Service Control Manager в Windows 10, стоит ли это делать и дополнительная информация, которая может оказаться полезной.
Ошибки с источником Service Control Manager — причины, необходимость исправления
Прежде чем вы решите переживать и пытаться исправить ошибки с кодами события 7000, 7001, 7009, 7011, 7023, 7031, 7034, 7043 и источником Service Control Manager, учитывайте следующий важный момент: такие ошибки вы встретите на любой, даже самой чистой и беспроблемной системе Windows 10. Если в просмотре событий эти ошибки появляются время от времени, а не ежедневно при включении компьютера, работе и завершении работы, причинами могут быть обычные процессы работы Windows 10 связанные с:
- Установкой обновлений (при этом некоторые службы могут завершаться, а другие, зависимые от них, вызывать ошибку).
- Установкой новых версий драйверов (в том числе и самой Windows 10, в этих случаях мы можем получить ошибки, связанных с тем, что устройство не готово или не работает).
- Установкой сторонних программ, взаимодействующих со службами (иногда лишь временно, для успешного выполнения установки).
- Автоматическим обслуживанием системы (редко).
Во всех случаях появление ошибок возможно не при самом процессе, а после повторного включения компьютера или ноутбука, так как многие процессы установки завершаются лишь после перезагрузки.
В случае же если у вас эти ошибки возникают ежедневно, причины могут быть самыми разными, среди них:
- Ручное вмешательство в тип запуска служб, отключение служб, использование различных программ «для оптимизации», «ускорения» и «отключения слежки» Windows Получить представление о том, как отключение одних служб может влиять на работу других можно получить из статьи Не удалось запустить дочернюю службу — как исправить.
- В случае, если ошибок нет после перезагрузки компьютера или ноутбука, но присутствуют после завершения работы и последующего включения (особенно по прошествии некоторого времени), можно попробовать отключить быстрый запуск Windows 10. Желательно также вручную установить все оригинальные драйверы чипсета с сайта производителя ноутбука или материнской платы, в случае если у вас ПК.
- Нестабильная работа каких-либо устройств (плохое подключение, неисправности). Иногда — проблемы при задействовании устройства после перехода в режим энергосбережения. Можно попробовать отключить экономию энергию для устройств в дополнительных параметрах схемы электропитания в панели управления и в свойствах устройства в диспетчере устройств на вкладке «Управление электропитанием» (присутствует не для всех устройств). Особенно часто это касается USB устройств, сетевых и Wi-Fi адаптеров.
- Иногда ошибки могут появляться при завершении работы, если какие-то сторонние программы (например, клиенты для загрузки файлов из Интернета) мешают завершиться какой-либо сетевой службе.
Также при регулярном появлении указанных ошибок стоит проверить, а появляются ли они, если выполнить чистую загрузку Windows 10 — если нет, можно предположить, что правильному запуску служб мешают какие-то сторонние программы или антивирусы. Также может оказаться, что эти программы инициируют запуск служб, которые не могут быть запущены из-за отключенных дочерних служб.
Если проблема появилась недавно, вам могут помочь точки восстановления системы на дату, предшествующую появлению ошибок.
Увеличение времени ожидания запуска служб для ошибок с кодами 7000, 7009 и 7011
Ошибки типа «Превышение времени ожидания» или «Не ответила на запрос своевременно» при запуске служб c кодами события 7000, 7009 и 7011 могут появляться на медленных компьютерах и ноутбуках с HDD. В таких ситуациях мы можем увеличить время ожидания запуска службы:
- Запустите редактор реестра, для этого нажмите клавиши Win+R на клавиатуре, введите regedit и нажмите Enter.
- Перейдите в раздел реестра
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
- В правой панели редактора реестра найдите параметр с именем ServicesPipeTimeout. Если такой параметр отсутствует, нажмите правой кнопкой мыши в пустом месте панели справа, выберите «Создать» — «Параметр DWORD» и задайте имя ServicesPipeTimeout для этого параметра.
- Дважды нажмите по параметру ServicesPipeTimeout, выберите «Десятичный» и задайте значение 60000.
- Нажмите Ок, закройте редактор реестра и перезагрузите компьютер.
Указанные действия установят время ожидания для запуска службы равным 60 секунд. Если этого окажется недостаточно, можно попробовать увеличить значение.
Надеюсь, предложенный материал поможет разобраться с ошибками Service Control Manager в просмотре событий Windows 10 и предпринять действия для исправления ситуации при необходимости.
