I had this issue on Windows 10 and SQL Server 2014 Express.

The delayed start option didn't work for me, but here's what did work - granting higher DCOM permissions to the Network Service and Local Service accounts.

1. Click Start, type Component and then click the Component Services app
2. In Component Services, double-click Component Services, and then double- click Computers. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
3. Click the COM Security tab.
4. In the Launch and Activation Permissions area, click Edit Default.
5. Click Add, type Network Service, and then click OK. While Network Service is selected, click to select the Allow check boxes for the following items:
   • Local Launch
   • Remote Launch
   • Local Activation
   • Remote Activation
6. Repeat step 4 for the Local Service account.
7. Reboot and SQL Server should not start automatically.

In my case, this is a development environment so I'm less concerned about the security implications of this change and more concerned about getting it to work. So be advised to check out potential security ramifications if that's important in your situation.
