    Since you're using it as a workstation you probably don't need Active
    Directory Federation Services. Control Panel|Admin Tools|Services and set
    the startup type to' Manual' or 'Disabled'

    Hello Dave,

    There is no "Active Directory Federation" service in the list of services,
    is there other name for it?

    It was a guess. Those letters could be anything really. Look for clues at

    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ADFS

    Further to David's reply: Look for the string "ADFS" here:
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services, then look at the value ImagePath.
    What does it point at? Does the file exist?

    Hi Dave,

    I have just deleted the "adfs" key from
    HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services as it was not included the
    "ImagePath" value.
