[FIXED] – How to Resolve “Please Wait for the GPSVC” Message on Windows?
Hi everyone,
I recently encountered the “Please wait for the GPSVC” message on my Windows PC during startup. It seems to hang at this point for a long time, delaying login and system access.
Can someone explain what GPSVC is, why this message appears, and what steps I can take to fix it? I’m looking for safe and effective solutions that won’t affect my system stability.
Thanks in advance!

Hey, what you’re seeing is Windows hanging on the Group Policy Client service, which is what GPSVC stands for. It basically manages system and user policies, and if it gets stuck, your PC waits indefinitely at startup. Common causes are corrupt user profiles, pending updates, or issues with certain services starting in the wrong order. Quick fixes you can try are booting into Safe Mode and running sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth in Command Prompt, checking for stuck Windows Updates, or creating a new user profile to see if it bypasses the hang.
