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

    Hi Shawn,


    How to stop cryptSvc? 280125d1590378706t-i-get-bad-return-code-stop-cryptsvc-task-small-vss-task1.png


    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?

    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
