INTRODUCTION
Everything was working fine only until recently where the User Profile Service status was going back to “Starting”. I then tried to delete the Service Application and start again but it failed. It popped-out with “Deleting” window but nothing happens.
I tried to provision a new Service Application and same. It opened the modal window but nothing happened.
I wait and wait and wait..the modal window was still there.
I look in Event Viewer – NOTHING.
In SharePoint logs I got bunch of these error messages

RESOLUTION
I’m not sure what caused it but I then tried to restart the SP Timer Service and it all worked now! The modal window is closed and the User Profile Service Application was stopped and deleted properly. The newly created Service Application was also created successfully.
Hope this helps,
Tommy
