About this tag
Discussions tagged with event notification on WindowsForum.com focus on the System Event Notification Service (SENS) in Windows Server environments. A recurring issue involves the service causing logoff hangs, where the server displays a 'Waiting for: System Event Notification Service' message and requires a restart. Users have reported that standard troubleshooting steps like netsh winsock reset are ineffective. The tag covers problems related to SENS behavior, potential service dependencies, and workarounds for enterprise IT administrators managing Windows Server 2019 terminal servers.

    Waiting for: System Event Notification Service

    Windows Server 2019 terminal. For some time, the server hangs on logout with the message: "Waiting for: System Event Notification Service". A server restart is required. Then comes a week or two and the same thing. The "netsh winsock reset" command does nothing.
