some running services (mostly security software services) of my windows are not able to stop. The Start/stop option for those services are disabled. How can I forcibly close those services using my vb.net?
I'm using Windows 7 64bit. The service I'm trying to close is firewall service of my security software.
Assuming the service has a corresponding process, you can try Taskkill:
Taskkill /f
You can use Shell to run the above from your program.
Or use Process.Start, as suggested here.
