Still facing issues while trying to start services?

Follow below steps to troubleshoot:

1.Check the XConnect site in the IIS to verify whether valid certificate is associated with the XConnect site.
    
     2.Check whether XConnect loads successfully in browser with a valid certificate  associated.
    
     3.Verify the thumbprint value of the certificate associated with the XConnect site with the below mentioned locations. It should be same, if not update thumbprint values to match with the Certificate thumbprint associated with the XConnect site.

Sitename.XConnect\App_Data\jobs\continuous\ProcessingEngine\App_Config\ConnectionStrings.config

Once all this is done try to re-start the machine and check whether the services started automatically. If not, try to start them manually.
