Warning

Please do this operation CAREFULLY, otherwise you may get something wrong with your system.

 

When we install application into win10, some of them will register their services into windows service list to keep some part of the application available as a daemon. But later when we uninstall the applications, these application-related service entries may be left behind due to a failure of uninstallation. Don\'t worry, we can easily remove those unnecessary service entries with win10 cmd.

Please see the following screenshot:

I will show you how to remove the service "wwbizsrv" from the list as an example.

Step1: Open cmd console with Administrator permission.

Step2: Enter the cmd line shown as below, and execute it.

sc delete wwbizsrv

Step3: Go back to the service list window to check if the service entry have been removed successfully.

Something go wrong! The service "wwbizsrv" is still in the service list. Why? Okay, there is one more thing I forgot to mention -- "stop the running service".

Information

If the service that you are going to remove is running, you can remove it by the cmd line. And after that, don\'t forget to stop the service in the service list dialog. The service entry will be gone as long as it stops running.

See, the service entry is gone forever.

Now, I have to bring my wwbizsrv service back
