SQL Browser Service Stops After One Minute

I am encountering an issue with the SQL Browser service where the service will start, run for around 60-90 seconds and then stop. No error is logged, the event logs show three informational entries: > The SQL Server Browser service has started. > > The SQL Server Browser is enabling SQL instance and connectivity discovery support. > > The SQL Server Browser service has shutdown. Things I've tried so far: - Removing and reinstalling SQL Browser. - Repairing the SQL installation. - Changing the logon account for SQL Browser. - If I run the browser in console mode from the command line (sqlbrowser.exe -c) then it runs fine and does not shut down. - Verified no antivirus is terminating the service. - Turned off Windows Firewall just to be sure. - Restarted machine. - Applied latest updates. I've run out of ideas. Is there a log file for the Browser service somewhere that might give some clues? Has anyone encountered this issue before?
