Method 3: Using System Restore
If this particular error only started to occur after a major system change like the installation of an important update, driver installation, or an unexpected machine shutdown, one quick way to revert the thing that’s causing the Service Control Manager – 7001 error is to use System Restore. System Restore allows you to revert your computer back to a healthy state when the circumstances that are causing the current Event Viewer errors where not being met. Keep in mind that by default. System Restore is configured to regularly save restore snapshots right before important system events (driver installations, Critical WU updates, etc.) – Because of this, it’s very likely that your computer has already created a snapshot right before the apparition of this issue. By identifying the best restore snapshot and using it via System Restore, you’ll be able to revert your computer back to a previous point in time where this problem was not occurring. Note: Keep in mind that once you go through with the operation, every change you made since your OS created that restore snapshot will be lost. If this potential fix didn’t work for you or you didn’t manage to find a viable system restore a snapshot, move down to the next potential fix below.
