FIX: web sites cannot be started unless both the was and w3svc are running

"Websites cannot be started unless both the Windows Activation Service (WAS) and the World Wide Web Publishing Service (W3SVC) are running, Both services are currently stopped."

When I have to start IIS. I was getting the above error.

FIX:

1- Open cmd (Win + R: cmd.exe)

2- Write "net start w3svc" and solved.
