Program starts itself after being task killed

42 Views Asked by At

I have this software PC2Control which I want to taskkill. (Also I don't want to uninstall that)

taskkill /f /t /im PCControl2Client.exe :: success

But after like 1 second, it automatically starts again. I think it could be some Windows event.

This is one way to go, but its not really good way.

while($true)
{
    $find =  tasklist | findstr "PCControl";
    if($find -eq $null)
    {
        Start-Sleep -Seconds 1;
    }
    else
    {
        taskkill /F /IM PCControl2ClientService.exe /T;
        taskkill /F /IM PCControl2ClientUser.exe /T;
        taskkill /F /IM PCControl2Client.exe /T;
    }
}

Any ideas how to stop it?

EDIT

Found it for those who are wondering.

It was service with recovery options (thanks to Toni), which you can found by typing service in search bar or powershell get-service

This will disable all recovery options using cmd.
