Default Behavior
Srvnet is a file system driver. In Windows 10 it is starting only if the user, an application or another service starts it. If Srvnet fails to start, the failure details are being recorded into Event Log. Then Windows 10 will start up and notify the user that the srvnet service has failed to start due to the error.
Dependencies
While Srvnet is stopped, the Server SMB 2.xxx Driver service cannot be launched.
