• List all services you have installed with cygrunsrv -L. If you do not have cygrunsrv installed, skip this FAQ. • Before removing the service, you should stop it with cygrunsrv –stop service_name. If you have inetd configured to run as a standalone service, it will not show up in the list, but cygrunsrv –stop inetd will work to stop it as well. • Lastly, remove the service with cygrunsrv –remove service_name.
