Some services stop working and get stuck when I am using my PC. I want to force stop Windows service that gets hung up in a similar way. Is there any way to stop?

How To Force Stop Windows Service That Is Stuck?
We can stop a Windows service. If we know the name of the service, we can stop it using the cmd method.
Step 1: Open Command Prompt window by typing “cmd” in the Run command.
Step 2: Use “sc” command to get the PID of the service
sc queryex name_of_service
Step 3: kill the service using task kill command
taskkill /f /pid <paid_of_service>
Do not stop any service you don’t know about. It might cause problems.
