Windows SharePoint Services Web Application Required on Farm, not running Starting

I used to find, services are getting stuck under SharePoint Central Admin. This time, it is "Windows SharePoint Services Web Application".



The best way I find to get out of it, is mentioned below,

Step 1. Stop the service from Command Prompt,

Open Command prompt then navigate to 12\bin folder & execute the below command,

stsadm -o provisionservice -action stop -servicetype SPWebService

Step 2. Reset IIS

Open Command Prompt & execute,

iisreset

Step 3. Start the service back from Command Prompt

open Command prompt & navigate to 12\bin folder. Now execute the below command to Start the service again,

stsadm -o provisionservice -action start -servicetype SPWebService

Here it goes. service will start after executing above command. If still, you are not able to Start the service... Shut down your system for 10 minutes & then try the above steps again. It will work.. Cheers :)
