Windows 10: How to stop cryptSvc?

I am trying to stop cryptSvc in cmd started as admin: It refuses to stop displaying this message:The following services are dependent on the Cryptographic Services service. Stopping the Cryptographic Services service will also stop these services. Norton Tools Norton Antivirus Smartlocker Filter Driver Application IdentityI tried to disable Norton Auto-protect as well as Firewall with no change with stop cryptSvc.

I get a bad return code on "Stop CryptSvc" task

Hi Shawn,





I am running a simple (2 lines) script called "Stop CryptSvc" saved in C:\ that starts on event 1074 and sometimes (1 out of 30) I get a bad return code, the task runs 2 sec too late (after apps delayed the task) or the task runs OK but the CryptSvc service was not stopped. Not sure if this is an acceptable performance? I wonder if I rearrange the action tab items





and place the full path in "add argument" and just CryptSvc.bat in Program/script?
I already added c:\ in "Start in"

Any suggestions?
Frank

 

Restoring CryptSvc

Hi. I mistakenly deleted my CryptSvc program, and then also foolishly tried to restore it via a reg key restoration link from TenForums (https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/57567-restore-default-services-windows-10-a.html). That said, a CryptSvc folder
is displayed in my registry, and CryptSvc is listed again in my Services directory. I'm not sure about the reg folder's condition (and I've returned to my hands-off reg policy), but the Services listing and CryptSvc Properties indicate a problem with CryptSvc.
Both state, "<Failed to Read Description. Error Code: 15100 >." Is there some way I can repair my CryptSvc? Its dll folder (C: Windows >WinSxS) is apparently still intact, at least it seems to be okay, based on its appearance when I opened it in Notepad.
?

Anyway, I'll appreciate whatever solutions or suggestions can be provided here.

Thanks in advance. Also: Sorry.

P.S. I apologize again for my folly, and for interrupting this forum. My deletion experiment was in reaction to my Windows 10 Updating troubles (laptop heat, slow-downs, repeated notifications and installation failures, etc. - despite help from Windows
Update Assistant, Media Creation Tool, so on), but I should have just ignored it all. --j
