I'm installing stunnel for a second time. I'm using it for Blue Iris on a Windows 10 Pro machine. I'm using stunnel 5.67 on Win64. GUI shows "Configuration successful". I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling numerous times.

When I run stunnel Service Start I receive a dialog box that says:

stunnel 5.67 on Win64 (not configured)
StartService: error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion

Can anyone help?
 
Yes. But unfortunately I can’t give you the steps to resolve, which is why I didn’t close the loop here.
It ultimately resolved itself. The only thing I remember doing is using talk manager to force quit. It seemed to work after that. Sorry I can’t offer more.

Thanks for the tip about using "task manager" to force stop the service. Once I did, I was able to start the service without issue.
