Hi,

I am also using local instance which ones on VM.

I have also moved TCP before named pipes in the protocol order list.

When I am starting up Sql Agent from Sql Server Configuration manager, it's throwing an error:

The Request Failed or the Service Didn't respond in a timely manner, consult the event log.

I checked the Eventlog in Event Viewer and Sql Server Agent Error is: Sql Server Agent couldn't be started (reason: Unable to connect to Server local; Sql Server Agent can't Start)

I am also seeing other errors for Source - crypt32

Failed auto update retrieval of third party root list sequence number from http://www.download.windowupdate.com/msdownlod/update/v3/static/trustedr/authrootseq.txt> with error: This network connection does not exist.

Thanks
