Note: Rather than Delete a Service, it is preferable to Disable a Service instead, in case it is needed again in the future. However, at times deletion may be needed, such as for an obsolete Service, or for a Service that will be reinstalled.
To Disable a Service:
- At the Windows machine, open Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services
- Right-click the specific Service
- Select Properties
- Access the General tab
- Set the Startup Type to Disabled
- Click OK
Delete a Service:
Warning: DO NOT DELETE a Service unless it is truly not needed.
- Obtain the exact name of the Service (instructions may vary with operating system):
- At the Windows server, open Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services
- Right-click the specific Service
- Select Properties
- On the General tab, note the Service Name
- At the Windows server, open an Administrator command prompt (instructions may vary with operating system):
- Open Start
- Type the following command in the Search programs and files box:
- Press the Ctrl, Shift, and Enter keys at the same time
- This should open an Administrator Command Prompt window
- Enter the following command to delete the Service:
- SC DELETE "service name"
- Service name examples: "Sage 100c Advanced 2018 (9997)" or "Sage 100cloud Premium 2019 (10000)"
- Press the Enter key to execute the command.
- Receive the following message if successful:
- [SC] DeleteService SUCCESS
- Enter the following command to exit the Command Prompt:
