I can't enable essential Windows 10 services

I've had this problem for awhile where there are networking services that aren't enabled and I can't figure out how to turn them on.

The services in question are:

msrpc
netbios-ssn
microsoft-ds
ms-term-serv

Because one or more of these services are disabled on my Win10 box I can't access it from any of my android devices. (ES File Share,etc.)

The RPC service is the only one that I know the alias for and when I perform sc query it shows as stopped. However when I attempt to manually start it, I get the error that an instance of it is already running.

I'm really puzzled by this, not sure why these services are not running or how to even get them running again.
 
First was to identify what all your abbreviations actually meant:

msrpc ------------- Microsoft Remote Procedure Call
netbios-ssn ----- Network Basic Input/Output System
microsoft-ds ---- Microsoft Directory Services
ms-term-serv --- Microsoft Terminal Server


You should be able to find them using: Run, msconfig
If they are supposed to run at Startup, those are handled using Task Manager in Windows 10
Hope this helps you
