The Group Policy client service failed to start due to the following error:
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
An investigation into this report has revealed that the Group Policy client service cannot be started. The StartUp type is Automatic. The Path to executable would normally be:
C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs.
On the computer under investigation the Path to executable appears as:
C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k GPSvcGroup.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\gpsvc is the registry key The Image Path would normally be:

Please provide detailed instructions as to how to correct the registry error.
Are there any circumstances in which the Image Path data could be correct?
TIA
