Default Behavior

IP Translation Configuration Service is a Win32 service. In Windows 10 it is starting only if the user, an application or another service starts it. When the IP Translation Configuration Service is started, it is running as LocalSystem in a shared process of svchost.exe along with other services. If IP Translation Configuration Service fails to start, the failure details are being recorded into Event Log. Then Windows 10 will start up and notify the user that the IpxlatCfgSvc service has failed to start due to the error.

Dependencies

IP Translation Configuration Service cannot be started under any conditions, if the Network Store Interface Service is disabled.
