Force stop a service in Windows

I started to investigate how to do it forcefully and this is what I found in ===

Today I had the problem that a service had stopped for some reason...

I started researching how to do it forcefully and this is what I found in two simple steps:

text

sc queryex <servicename>

Example:

text

ERVICE_NAME: ServicioCTS

TYPE               : 110  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS  (interactive)

STATE              : 3  STOP_PENDING

(STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN))

WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)

SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)

CHECKPOINT         : 0x3

WAIT_HINT          : 0x0

PID                : 4432

FLAGS              :

Now with the PID obtained... well we kill it

Syntax:

text

taskkill /F /PID <PID>

Example:

text

taskkill /F /PID 4432

Ready, now let's go services.msc or we execute net start it should boot up correctly.

text

net start ServicioCTS
