Try this [1] - hold Ctrl button down when pressing Apply in the mode switch dialog. This will open a console window with the progress log, including any errors it runs into during the switch.
Have a look. It's usually pretty obvious what's causing the problem. If not, let me know and we'll take a look together.

Thank you for the 'trick'. The Bvckup2 folder in the ProgramData was allready present, after i deleted it the service was created with success.
