Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
linked server
Some times you get this error while starting or restarting the windows service especially in .net wcf window service.
Two reason for this error
1) Config file of windows service has some issue. clearly check it for
a) Unclosed Tags
b) any xml comment error
c) any character not allowed in like. any character without tags.

2) the new code you wrote has some issue. Like on start of service you call a method, which do some action like read a file or anything which throw some exception.

in these scenarios service did not start error can occur.

You can also try once or thrice before checking above steps. because sometime resource allocation can cause this issue.
at last restart you system and try :)

if it solve your problem comment with what kind of issue it was.
