How to Fix “Please Wait for the GPSVC” Message in Windows?

Hi all,

My Windows PC gets stuck on the “Please wait for the GPSVC” message during startup. I’ve tried restarting, but it doesn’t help. What’s the best way to fix this and get my system booting normally?

A simple fix is to boot into Safe Mode and run System File Checker: open Command Prompt as admin and type sfc /scannow to repair corrupted files. You can also use DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to fix deeper Windows issues.

Another step is to check for pending Windows updates or uninstall recently installed updates that might be causing the problem. If needed, creating a new user profile can help, as a corrupted profile sometimes triggers this message. Finally, make sure your system drive has enough free space and no disk errors—running chkdsk /f /r can help.
