Many users involve Hamachi for different purposes, in the details of which we will not immerse yourself today, since at the moment our goal is to help solve problems when this software does not start, producing self-diagnostics of faults. Of course, in most cases, this operation ends with nothing, because the user must independently search for this error. The leaders presented below will be aimed at ensuring that it is easier and faster to get rid of this nasty problem.
We solve problems with self-diagnostics Hamachi
Almost always, the self-diagnosis occurs due to incorrect work of the services responsible for the correct connection of Hamachi to the network. Because of this, all our attention will continue to solve problems associated with the services that in every way interact with the software mentioned. Let's start with the simplest and effective way, moving in order to more complex and rarely encountered.Method 1: Launch of the necessary services
From the very beginning, we recommend checking the working capacity of services. You can be confident almost one hundred percent that one of the important parameters is disabled, because, as mentioned above, this situation appears due to the refusal of the work of the services. You can check and run them manually like this:
- Run the "Run" utility by holding the Win + R keys combination, where in the input field, enter the Services.msc and press ENTER or OK.
- Lay in the list with the names "Logmein Hamachi Tunneling Engine". This is the main service responsible for the health of the software. Click on the name twice with the left mouse button to go to properties.
- Here in the "General" tab, put the start type "automatically" and apply changes.
- Similar will need to be done with the Windows Management Toolkit service, because it is also directly related to hamachi.
After making all changes, it is recommended to restart the computer to check the serviceability of the services. If everything decided and the difficulty no longer arose, it means it was in a banal random disconnection. In the event of a re-emergence of difficulties, we advise you to get acquainted with the following options for solving them.
Method 2: Cleaning the system of antivirus
This method is required to perform the users, who, after rebooting the PC, the Windows Management Toolbox service again turned off, and with it, respectively, and "LogMein Hamachi Tunneling Engine". Often it depends on the action of viruses that captured the device. They need to get rid of available funds - protective programs, that is, antiviruses. Detailed instructions on this topic can be found in separate our material on the following link.Read more: Fighting computer viruses
After successful cleaning the system, re-run the service and check its performance. If it does not help, and "Windows Management Toolkit" is still turned off, go to the method 7, where we consider the restoration of the system.
Method 3: Creating a script to launch Hamachi
Difficulties with the start of the service responsible for the work of Hamachi are often due to banal failures in the program or system, which is not solved by any methods. If you do not want to look for solutions further, create a script that simply run the service again, allowing you to temporarily solve the problem. Such a method is called "crutch" and does not correct the problem itself, and only the time saves you from it.
- Go to "Start". Locate "Notepad" through the search and run it on behalf of the administrator.
- Copy and paste the following content. Just pay attention to the fact that the path to the Hamachi file is default. If you installed the program to another location, change this line to your needs.
Net Stop Hamachi2Svc.
Net Start Hamachi2Svc.
Start C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Logmein Hamachi \ Hamachi-2-ui.exe
EXIT
- Then through the "File" menu, go to "Save As".
- Set the appropriate name, and specify the .cmd as file format. Select any convenient location for this script.
- Run it in the case when you want to go to Hamachi. First, the console will appear on the screen, where the stop and starting service will be completed, and the application itself will turn on.
However, if there is a desire to completely and forever get rid of the problem, we advise you to study the methods below, because they often turn out to be quite effective.
Method 4: Security Setup EXE File
Sometimes the difficulties with the launch are caused by an insufficient level of access, which receives the EXE file of the software under consideration. The fact is that with low trust, the program will not even get access to its own service, which has established to the system. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor this setting by following the following actions:
- Go to the folder where Hamachi was installed, and right-click on the executable file that is responsible for starting.
- In the menu context that appears, select "Properties".
- Move into the Safety tab.
- Here make sure that the system, administrators and users have full access. If it is not, click on the "Edit" button.
- Select each profile and check the "Allow" checkbox near the "Full Access" item.
After that, do not forget to apply the changes. Note that these actions are performed solely from the administrator account. If you have not yet entered this profile, do it as demonstrated in our next material.

Method 5: Setting up Hamachi
Sometimes a service responsible for Hamachi's performance simply turns off by itself. It happens because of the conflicts of the OS and software, but is solved by a banal restart. You can configure it to automatically, using the configuration of the parameters, which looks like this:
- Find in the LogMein Hamachi Tunneling Engine service list and double-click on it with LKM.
- Move into the Restore tab.
- Here, set the values of all failures to the "Restart Service" status, and also make sure that the "error meter reset through" is 0, and the following parameter is 1. After that click on "Apply".
Now the service will automatically reboot immediately as soon as it turns off. This will allow you to quickly reanimate the situation and start using Hamachi without transition to self-diagnostic mode.
Method 6: Reinstalling Hamachi with a registry cleaner
If none of the methods listed above did not bring any result, we turn to more radical options. The first is to complete the removal of hamachi and further cleaning the registry, which will allow you to reset absolutely all parameters. Deployed uninstallation instructions can be found in the material below.

- In the Registry Editor, click on the Edit section and select "Find".
- Set the search parameter by specifying the name of the program, and start finding.
- Delete all the values found.
After that, it is necessary to restart the computer to then re-install the software.
