If the service is disabled, the operating system and licensed applications may run in a notification mode.

It is strongly recommended that you not disable the Software Protection service.

Software Protection Platform Registry Windows 10 It Is

In Windows 10 it is starting automatically when the operating system starts.

Then the Software Protection service is running as NT AUTHORITYNetworkService in its own process of sppsvc.exe.

If Software Protection fails to start, the failure details are being recorded into Event Log.

Then Windows 10 will start up and notify the user that the sppsvc service has failed to start due to the error.

Dependencies Software Protection cannot be started under any conditions, if the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service is disabled.

Before you begin doing this, make sure that all the services on which Software Protection depends are configured by default and function properly.
