I know this post is old but I was getting this error  It turns out World Wide Web Publishing Service was disabled   Click Start  type Services in the Search box  and then click Services  Scroll until you find the World Wide Web Publishing Service that is stopped or disabled  right-click the service  and then click Properties  Click the Startup type list  and then click Automatic  Click Apply  and then click OK

I have had this problem after a windows update  Windows Process Activation Service is dependent service for W3SVC  First  make sure that Windows Process Activation Service is running  In my case  it was not running and when I tried to run it manually  I got below error   Windows Process Activation Service Error 2  The system cannot find the file specified  The issue seems to be  that windows adds an incorrect parameter to the WAS service startup parameters  I fixed the issue using the following steps    Start regedit  just type it into start  Navigate to HKEY LOCAL MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services WAS Parameters Delete the NanoSetup variable  This variable is preventing WAS from starting Start the WAS service using task manager Now start the W3SVC service You can now start your website in IIS again   I found above WPA service solution in this stack overflow thread

None of the answers above helped me   It turns out my Net Tcp Port Sharing Service was disabled  I changed its startup to manual  started the service  and then IISRESET worked   I also verified that the following dependent services were started in Services   windows   r  services msc     World Wide Web Publishing Service Windows Process Activation Service Remote Procedure Call  RPC  DCOM Server Process Launcher RPC Endpoint Mapper Net Msmq Listener Adapter Net Pipe Listener Adapter Net Tcp Listener Adapter Net Tcp Port Sharing Service   I found this solution by going through all dependencies and child dependencies of the World Wide Web Publishing Service and making sure that each service was enabled and started   To verify all services for yourself  do the following    Open up Services  just search for it from the start menu in Windows 10  Find the World Wide Web Publishing Service Right click on the service and then click  Properties  Click on the Dependencies tab Go through each system component in the two boxes and verify that each service is started  in Services   Repeat steps 3-5 for each of the dependencies  dependencies until you run out of child dependencies   Service Properties - Dependencies Tab

This is probably a rarer case  but     If you are using a custom AppPool Identity configuration be sure to check the AppPool is running  It may be turned off because credentials are invalid  usually due to an expired password   Update your credentials and start the AppPool
