Service Client troubleshooting on Windows

This page helps with two things for the Service Client on Windows. It shows how to restart the service. It also explains what to do when the service doesn’t start correctly on Windows 7 or 8.

Sometimes the Service Client on Windows needs a restart.

  1. Open the Start menu and search for “Services”. On a German Windows, the app is called “Dienste”.

  2. Find “cloudprint-Client” in the list and right-click its row.

    The Windows services console "Dienste" (Services), in German, showing "Dienste (Lokal)" (local services). In the long list, the row "cloudprint-Client" is selected. Its description starts with "comrce cloud…", it is running, starts automatically and logs on as "Lokales System" (local system). The other rows are pixelated. On the left, the panel for the selected service offers the links "beenden" (stop) and "neu starten" (restart), with the description "comrce cloudprint lokaler Service".

The service doesn’t start correctly on Windows 7 or 8

Section titled “The service doesn’t start correctly on Windows 7 or 8”

By default, Windows 7 and 8 don’t support encryption with TLS 1.1 and 1.2. That’s why the service doesn’t start correctly there.

The fix is described in the guide Wie aktiviere ich TLS v1.1/1.2 auf älteren Betriebssystemen? (how to enable TLS 1.1/1.2 on older operating systems, in German) from serverprofis.de. Work through these two sections there:

  • “Microsoft Windows 7/8 | Windows Server 2008/2008 R2/2012 | Outlook 2007/2010”
  • “Windows Live Mail”
