How do I delete a Hidden Windows Service using .NET

5 New Member
Hi,

I would like to Know how a hidden service can be deleted in Windows.
For example I have a driver file that is registered as a service and I would like to be able to delete the service.

The driver is listed under device manager under non plug and play drivers and the file and the service is not visible in Windows.

I know how to remove it manually,but would like to automate the process using .net.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

@OP

I know you say it's hidden, but would something like this help? Also, it does it shows how to do it remotely, but I'm sure you can work around it to work on the local computer.

Hallo, ich hab bei einem Programm bei mir festgestellt, daß das "deleten" von Feldern erheblich länger dauert, als das Anlegen von Feldern. p. Bei einem Programm von mir werden oft große Datenfelder unterschiedlicher Größe angelegt und wieder gelöscht. Daher ist dieser Umstand sehr ungünstig. Ist das Normal, daß der Unterschied bei Faktor 10-20 liegt? Oder begehe ich hier an irgendeiner Stelle einen grundlegenden Fehler!?

Hi All I have a server based C# console application. This application must hide its console window when its launched out on the field. So I dutifully P/Invoke'd FindWindow/ShowWindow combination to hide the console window at launch time. The application (for legacy reasons) hangs around by waiting on an old- fashioned Console.ReadLine() statement.

I have several folders on a server that contains files that go back 3-4 years. It was mentioned that keeping files that long is no longer needed. So my question is, is there a way to create a windows service in C# that can delete files in the folders that are older then 12 months? The server is structured something like this: DataLogs Server1 App1 - this folder contains all the log files or it can look something like this: DataLogs

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,...
