Windows was not able to start the service SCP DSx Service on the Local computer.

Error 1068: The service or dependency group cannot be started.

I have the same issue. If I right click Ds3Service in Task Manager's Services tab and click Start, it says "The operation could not be completed. The dependency service or group failed to start." I installed the last stable one originally which worked for a long time. It probably stopped working with one of the recent Windows updates. I tried the latest beta version which also failed to work.

Yep, both the stable and beta are affected by this error.

But using Scarlet.Crush's version doesn't have the same problem so can be used as a workaround.
