Cannot start service W3SVC on computer '.'
Go to Task Manager --> Processes and manually stop the W3SVC process. After doing this the process should start normally when restarting IIS
I found the solution:
Run -> appwiz.cpl -> Turn windows features on or off -> Uncheck "Internet Information Services" and "Windows Process Activation Service"
Restart your machine.
Run -> appwiz.cpl -> install both "Internet Information Services" and "Windows Process Activation Service"
