The Net.Tcp Port Sharing service is currently unable to start, and as a result, several Citrix services such as Citrix Subscription Store, Citrix Peer Resolution service, and Citrix Credential Wallet service are Stopped.

Attempting to start the Net.Tcp Port Sharing service, an error message is displayed: "Windows could not start the Net.Tcp Port Sharing service on the local computer. Error: 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."

Similarly, when trying to start the Citrix Credential Wallet service, an error message appears: "Windows could not start the Citrix Credential Wallet service on the local computer. Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed."

The system logs in the Event Viewer contain the following errors:

• "The Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service service failed to start due to the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."
• "A timeout was reached (60000 milliseconds) while waiting for the Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service service to connect."

The .NET Framework 3.5 is a necessary dependency of the Net.Tcp Port Sharing service. If Net.Tcp Port Sharing service failed to start, enabling or re-enabling .NET Framework 3.5 will resolve the issue.
