Remote Registry Service Stops

Question
-
Server 2012 R2: The remote registry service stops for no reason. No errors are logged with the service in the event log, it appears to be some sort of idle time out. The only event logged is "7036 The Remote Registry service entered the stopped state."
The service is set to automatic and will start after a reboot but only runs for a short while before stopping itself.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I have confirmed that the RPC service is running. Looking at the event logs the RPC service never stops, only the remote registry service.
Also, I have already set the service to restart automatically after a failure, but since the service isn't failing it's never triggering a restart.
The only thing I can think to do now is to just schedule a task to run to start the remote registry service every 10 minutes.

Hi
Can you check if the dependancy services are started as well?

Hi,
I agree with Ed. Please check that Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service is running.In addition, some services may stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs. You can also check the Recovery dialog box in the Properties of the Remote Registry service.
Best regards,
Susie

Exact same thing happening to me. Server 2012.
they were set to Auto start (triggered) i removed the trigger using SC and it just says Automatic now. I start the service and it stops after 10 mins.
Any other thoughts?

There's a KB article in Japanese only that explains it.

Starting with Windows 8 / Server 2012 it stops after 10 minutes of inactivity by design.
Make this change to the registry:
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ RemoteRegistry
Name: DisableIdleStop
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 1
