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?
