Service issue with Windows Orchestrator System malfunction affecting orchestration functions
Service issue with Windows Orchestrator System malfunction affecting orchestration functions
So I am at wits end with an issue that has plagued my PC since day one. Let me explain a bit. I got the PC in August of 2018. At first it would refuse to download the 1803 update, getting stuck in an eternal loop of downloading, faliling, and redownloading. Called tech support and was advised to try to reinstall Windows 10. So I reinstall Windows 10 and have the same issue come up. Try another clean reinstall of Windows 10 and this one suffers from the same Windows update issue, however this time I discover the issue is with Windows Orchestrator Service continuing to fail about every 5 minutes give or take. It would run great while it ran, but eventually it would end up freezing and requiring a manual shutdown. So this happens while play a game and the computers enters a bootloop. I call tech support with warranty in hand and explain the issue. I RMA it, send it off, get it back and it works for a while...however a week later Windows Orchestrator Service begins to fail every 5 or so minutes once again. So in this current install I decided I was going to try to solve this issue in a way other then just reinstalling Windows 10 since that has already failed 3 times. These are what I have tried. Media Creation Tool, both Repair and to create a new Boot USB. Both Failed. A Custom BAT file to force BITS, Orchestrator, and Update to reset. Failed. Entering Services. Fails as apparently despite being the admin I can't access them. Used Hidden Admin Account to enter Services and try to turn off BITS, Orchestrator, and Update. Succeeds for a day till BITS automatically turned back on all of it. Tried three times prior to reinstall Windows 10, but the problem carries over. Information: Windows 10 i7 8700 at 3.20Ghz 16GB Ram Nvidia Geforce 1080 Asus Prime B360M-A
Did you have storage options like SSD or HDD, and was it functioning before it stopped or has been non-functional consistently?
It's an HDD paired with an Optane drive. It initially functions briefly, maybe a day. After that, Windows Update stops working properly, and the reliability report keeps showing "Windows Orchestrator service stopped working" repeatedly every five minutes.
Turn off Optane and observe the outcome. This might indicate a problem with Optane. (Just a guess, of course)
That is certainly a pretty good suggestion. I don't have a lot of resources as I am new to high end PC....well anything. I reached the limits of my own know how a while ago and have now exhausted the suggestions of people I know who are far more experienced then I. I hope if anyone else comes across this if they have any other suggestions to share them. I think I have actually exhausted what I can do on the software side to try to address the issue, but I could be wrong.
