title: Azure IoT Edge Service Not Starting
body: <p>I am trying to work with IoT Edge. To create an Iot Edge Device for development purposes, I'm following the instructions provided <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-edge/how-to-install-iot-edge-windows-with-windows" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>. I can successfully get to the line that says <code>Start-Service iotedge</code>. Unfortunately, the "iotedge" Windows Service will not start.</p>
  
  <p>I can see the "iotedge" Windows Service in the Service management console. When I manually click "Start", I receive the following message after a couple of seconds:</p>
  
  <p><em>The iotedge service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.</em></p>
  
  <p>When I look in the Event Viewer, I see the following Error in the Application Windows logs:</p>
  
  <p><em>The description for Event ID 1 from source iotedged cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
  If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
  The following information was included with the event: 
  iotedged::windows -- Error while running service. Quitting.</em></p>
  
  <p>I'm running Windows 10 Enterprise, Version 1803 in a Boot Camp partition.</p>
  
  <p>On this same partition, I've tried running Azure IoT Edge on Virtual Machines in Hyper-V running:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Windows Server 2016</li>
  <li>Windows 10 Pro</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>In both cases, the "iotedge" Windows Service fails to start.</p>
  
  <p>I've also have a Virtual Machine hosted on Azure that's running Windows Server 2016 Datacenter in a Standard DS1 v2 (1 vcpus, 3.5 GB memory) instance. I'm unable to get the iotedge Windows Service to run there.</p>
  
  <p>Does the iotedge Windows Service run in a virtualized environment? Even if it doesn't the service should work in the Window 10 Enterprise environment which is an actual partition. What am I missing?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
