Resolution
These permissions are viewed and modified using the 'REGEDT32' utility
(WARNING from Microsoft: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.)
Go to the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\w3svc"
There should be three sets of permissions:
Administrators Full Control
Everyone Special Access
SYSTEM Full Control
These setting should exist on the "w3svc" key and all existing subkeys
If the permissions are wrong, then they can be added back in and the option to "Replace Permission on Existing Subkeys" selected.
