i have few suggestions try.  


1. run regedit , navigate to hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\termservice\parameters 

check servicedll key, example value see is %systemroot%\system32\termsrv.dll.  makes sure entry valid , file exists.  see if same version , size 1 known working server same patch level.  

2. system file check see if finds , files damaged or missing.  from administrative command prompt (click start, type cmd, right click , select “run administrator”, click yes on uac prompt)

enter ->  sfc /scannow

3. try starting service administrative command line.

c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe -k termsvcs

4. check dependencies in services administrative tool remote desktop service , make sure started.
