Universal Plug n Play was not started and set to manual. I started it
and left it set to manual.

Network Doe was disabled. I changed the setting to automatic and got
this error:

How can I fix it?

Networkd DDE DSDM is disabled and I haven't tried to change it yet.

Thanks

Every service has a dependency list. If the dependency list is
not satisfied, the service can't start. (In some cases, the
list will be empty, and there are no dependencies.)

An example is RPC, or Remote Procedure Call. Many services
are dependent on a service like that to be already running.
You'd check RPC and make sure it was running first, before
starting some other service that depended on it. RPC
is required by so many services, you wouldn't get very far
if it was disabled.

When you have your DDE service open, you'd check the
dependency list there, to see what other services DDE needs.

And it turns out, DDE depends on DDE DSDM. So you were
expected to start DDE DSDM first, and then start DDE.

When I look in the entry for DDE DSDM, it has no dependencies.
So no other service is required to get that one running.
