How to Fix “Please Wait for the GPSVC” Error on Windows 10

If you’re facing the “Please Wait for the GPSVC” error on your Windows 10 PC, don’t worry, it’s a common issue that can be easily resolved. In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through the steps to fix this error.

To begin, press the Windows key and type “regedit.” Right-click on the result and select “Run as administrator.” Before making any changes, it’s important to create a backup of your registry. To do this, click on “File” and select “Export.” Name the backup file with the current date and save it to a location on your computer or external drive.

Next, expand the “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE” folder and navigate to the “Software” folder. Double-click on the “Microsoft” folder and find the “Windows NT” folder. Expand the “CurrentVersion” folder and locate the “GPSVC” folder.

On the right-hand side, right-click on a blank area and select “New” and then “Multi-String Value.” Name this value “GPSVCGroup” exactly as it appears on the screen. Double-click on it and set the value data as “GPSVC.”

Now, right-click on the “GPSVC” folder and select “New” and then “Key.” Name this key “GroupPolicy.”

On the right-hand side, create two “DWORD” values. Right-click on a blank area, select “New” and then “DWORD (32-bit) Value.” Name the first value “AuthenticationCapabilities” and set the value data as “-123-0.”

Underneath “AuthenticationCapabilities,” right-click on a blank area and select “New” and then “DWORD (32-bit) Value.” Name this value “RunAs” and set the value data as “1.”

Once you’ve completed these steps, close the Registry Editor and restart your computer. This should resolve the “Please Wait for the GPSVC” error.
