Some of the cases we work have the Front End service in a Starting state:
In PowerShell the status is StartPending:
We cannot stop it on the Services Management Console:
We can go to Task Manager and try to manual stop the service:
If that doesn’t work we need to Go to Details and End task that is associated with the service:
Another simple way to stop all Starting services is by using the following PowerShell cmdlet. We will get a prompt for each service:
Get-Service | ?{$_.Status -eq “StartPending”} | Stop-process
