you should able kill via task manager.

right-click on taskbar -> start task manager go process tab if can find service under processes tab:

right click , select "end process" if don't see under processes (or don't know process service want kill),

while on processes tab

check "show processes users" in lower left "view" menu , choose "select columns" check "pid" , hit ok go services tab find pid of service want kill go processes tab , right-click -> end processstrong text
