Being on Manual, then you can start the service.
It should work now

The problem was, if it was on automatic and if you start the service it automaticaly stops.

I think David’s comment may have been misunderstood. Regardless, I need a way to run the instructions on THIS page from the command line, because running SFC fails and Microsoft points to this page as the solution.
