IISRESET windows 10 (IIS 10) Access denied

Question

I'm just wondering, why I get error during an iisreset in my development machine. When I execute the command in a Command Prompt some times it wokrs,sometimes it throws an Access Denied Error, and sometimes it throws a file not found exception.

If anyone finds a solution to this anoying problem, I would appreciate a hint how to get rid of it.

In the IIS I'm just hosting an .NET 4.6.1 MVC site.

Yes... seen the screenshot ?... It is running as administrator... that's why it is so strange — CodeHacker, Mar 18 '16 at 12:19
I have German OS with US-en language pack..so these errors appear in my eventlog: The WWW-Publishingdienst service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). ..AND ... The Windows-Prozessaktivierungsdienst service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). — CodeHacker, Mar 18 '16 at 12:29

This stupid error happens randomly and was very annoying especially when you place iisreset inside a script and assume it will do its thing; took me a while to figure it out. It is not related to the service being stopped as can be seen in this picture:

The only thing I use now is:

net stop W3SVC

and

net start W3SVC

Haven't had a problem since then.

I got exactly the same error time ago. Running it in German too. Take a look at this article: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/iis-support-blog/iis-reset-issue-restart-attempt-failed/ba-p/1031976

Judging from @Giorgi Nakeuri's question about the event logs. The "World Wide Web Publishing" (called only "WWW-Publishingdienst" in German) is very likely not running. You need to start it. The "Windows activity process service" fails because of the first one failing.

I think it says that he was unable to start the service, mainly due to a Problem with authorization. The solution of the problem can be provided in several different ways

1- Configuration causing the authorization error can be corrected applicationHost.config with XML

2- This authorization can be revoked through the Windows register. Example approach here:

3- Machine configuration can be changed in accordance with this permission. Please continue with the option that suits you :)

if it was authorization wouldn't it fail every time? It only fails sometimes...fails when ran from a script or even from a cmd prompt – JoshBerke Jul 21 '20 at 21:31
Above solution is right but the reason is that net command provides to reaching to main thread and it kills the process. That's handling the authenticity – Hamit YILDIRIM Jul 23 '20 at 21:53

Specifying the machine name also helps in some scenarios:

iisreset %ComputerName%
