Removed Windows service is still running

I installed a windows service with cygwin cygrunsrv. That service is writing something to a file every 5 seconds. After I tried it, I removed service with "cygrunserv -R service_name". Now, service is removed from services list but it is still running. How can I remove it for real.

Solution

  • Restarting Windows is solving that issue.
