WdiServiceHost for writing on local computer
Rick Rogers
It may be the service itself or a missing dependency. Normally, this service
is not set to start automatically but rather manually (on demand). Run
services.msc from the start/search line and scroll down to the Diagnostic
Service Host. Double click it and check the settings to ensure it's set for
manual. On the Recovery tab, you may want to set the first failure option to
restart the service.

Followup I get this in eventviewer The Diagnostic Service Host service
failed to start due to the following error:

It is Local Service and I haven't disabled any accounts. I think I'm
missing a file/folder for it.

In our case we were enforcing what accounts could do things and Windows 7 has one more account that needs to be able to have permission.....but it isn't easy to get it back in there if you ever stripped it out.
Sorry this is cryptic, but our solution hasn't been implemented yet.
