Windows service starts and stops automatically

I have two window services that I created in C# and VB.net, one each, and set
them to manual startup type. However, sometimes (not everytime) when I starts
the service, an error message pops-up to say the service started and stopped
automatically.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The dicer service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services
stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance
Logs and Alerts service.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why is this so? What causes it? Anyhow I can solve this? I am running the
service on Windows XP.

thanks
Eugene

I have a windows service that when started creates two threads: one thread that runs a TcpListener waiting for TcpClients to connect, and another thread that reads from the resulting sockets. My stop code .Abort()s the threads and .Stop()s the listener. One one of my computers, the service runs like, well...a service. It starts and stops nicely. On a different computer (eventually this service will be running on 50+ machines) the...

I do not want the service to re-install itself each time...

Hi all, I want to host a remote object in a windows service. This remote object fires events about service state. Clients connect and consume this events. The service configures and marshal remote object in its constructor. When a client application starts it connects remote object, registers events and monitors service state. So far so good. When service stops, it fires stop event via remote object and all clients know the service was...

I have created simple windows service which just write message to event log when it starts and stops. I am able to install it succesfully using: installutil <service_file.exe>, where <service_file.exeis the executable of the service. (Thanks to Rohan). But I want to install it using VS 2005 Setup project and I am unable to do that. I have created a Solution in VS 2005 with 2 simple projects.

Hello everyone, I have made a service that starts timers when it starts. I have another windows form application that stops and starts the service. Do I need to deal with any started timers when the service stops? Being new at this service stuff, I don't know if it holds state or memory and I need to stop all active timers or if the magical gc will come along and help out. Thanks, I hope that makes sense.

Hi. I know my windows service works when i run it in debug mode on my dev machine. It also works in release mode on my dev machine. But, when I move the service to a production server, it exits immediately with a start/stop/nothing to do error. What could be wrong?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
