Could not start the SharePoint Server Search 16 service

Environment: SharePoint 2016 Enterprise Farm

Issue: Could not start the SharePoint Server Search 16 service in new SharePoint 2016 farm environment. The logon credentials was a search service account (spsearchserv)

Error: Windows could not start the SharePoint Server Search 16 service on Local Computer. Error 5: Access is denied.

Resolution: The issue is because the service was not having enough permission to the local computer. Adding the service account (spsearchserv) to the local Administrators group resolved the issue.
