The reason this happens is because the albd service essentially uses the wrong slash in the executable path. You can manually readd the albd service using this command line:

SC create albd type= own start= auto binpath= "C:\Program Files (x86)\RationalSDLC\clearcase\bin\albd_server.exe" displayname= "Atria Location Broker" depend= RpcSs/TcpIp/PolicyAgent/seclogon obj= (albd account name) password= (albd password)

Yes it's long, but I just did this this past week when the 1709 update rolled in and erased my albd service.

First, this depends on the exact version of ClearCase you are installing in your Windows 10.

For instance, see "ALBD missing after server installation", because the sitedefs.dat file does not have the current ALBD username and password.
But that is for old versions of ClearCase.

Also, make sure you don't see that albd service in your Windows services, by typing services.msc (as seen here).

The safest solution remains a clean un-install, reboot, full re-install, reboot.
