Even though you have the Startup Type of the NetLogon service set to automatic, it does not start. Your event log contains:

Event Type: ErrorEvent Source: NETLOGONEvent Category: NoneEvent ID: 2114Description: The Server service is not started. Event Type: ErrorEvent Source: Service Control ManagerEvent Category: NoneEvent ID: 7024Description: The Netlogon service terminated with service-specific error 2114.

When you try to manually start the NetLogon service, you are successful.

You, or an application install, modified the DependOnService value of the NetLogon service, and failed to include LanmanServer and LanmanWorkstation in the REG_MULTI_SZ data type.

Use Regedt32 to navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/Netlogon

Double-click the DependOnService value name. When the Multi-String Editor opens, click in the box to remove the selection on all entries. Add a new line for LanmanServer and LanmanWorkstation. Press OK and exit Regedt32.
