Cannot start service W3SVC on computer '.'.

During debugging some code IIS on my PC was hanged and I was on unable to debug the code anymore. Whenever I want to start it, the following error occurs.

To resolve this issue, I did following steps:

  • Run -> appwiz.cpl -> Turn windows features on or off -> Uncheck "Internet Information Services" and "Windows Process Activation Service"

  • Restart your machine.
  • Run -> appwiz.cpl -> install both "Internet Information Services" and "Windows Process Activation Service"

    During reinstalling of IIS, make sure all the required components and features would be selected to install. After complete installation, register ASP.Net 4.0.
    To register open command promt and do the following.

  • Open your command prompt (Windows + R) and type cmd and press ENTER
    You may need to start this as an administrator if you have UAC enabled.
    To do so, locate the Command Prompt exe, right click and select "Run as Administrator"
  • Type cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ and press ENTER.
  • Type aspnet_regiis.exe -ir and press ENTER again.
    • If this is a fresh version of IIS (no other sites running on it) or you're not worried about the hosted sites breaking with a framework change you can use -i instead of -ir. This will change their AppPools for you and steps 5-on shouldn't be necessary.
    • at this point you will see it begin working on installing .NET's framework in to IIS for you



    • After finished successfully, now open IIS and ALLOW the restriction of desired ASP.Net.

    After completed these all steps, my issue was resolved and I started my work again. :)

    The Clickjacking attack and X-Frame-Options

    Clickjacking  Clickjacking is a type of “web framing” or “UI redressing” attack. What that simply means in practice is that: 1. A user (victim) is shown an innocuous, but enticing web page (think watch online video) 2. Another web page (that generally does something important – think add friends on social network) is layered on top of the first page and set to be transparent 3. When the user thinks they are clicking on the web page they see (video), they are actually clicking on the higher layered (framed) page that is transparent There are two main ways to prevent clickjacking: 1.     Sending the proper X-Frame-Options HTTP response headers that instruct the browser to not allow framing from other domains 2.     Employing defensive code in the UI to ensure that the current frame is the most top level window Using X-Frame-Options X-Frame-Options  originally invented by Microsoft for IE8, but supported by a number ...
