When you attempt to start the Windows Search service on your Windows 10 or 11 system, the following error may occur:
Windows could not start the Windows Search service on Local Computer. Error 1722: The RPC server is unavailable.
The net start wsearch
command may show the same error:
The Windows Search service could not be started. A system error has occurred. System error 1722 has occurred. The RPC server is unavailable.
Cause
The Windows Search error code 1722 (“RPC_S_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE”) occurs because the Windows Event Log service is disabled.
Resolution
Launch the Services MMC by running services.msc
.
Double-click Windows Event Log.
Set it to “Automatic” start.
Click Apply.
Click Start to start the services manually.
This should fix the Windows Search service error 1722.
