Syntax

Disables a Windows system service or driver.

disable servicename

service name is the name of the service or driver to be disabled.

Disable prints the old start_type of the service before resetting it to SERVICE_DISABLED. You should make a note of the old start_type, in case you need to enable the service again.

The start_type values that the disable command displays are:

SERVICE_DISABLED
SERVICE_BOOT_START
SERVICE_SYSTEM_START
SERVICE_AUTO_START
SERVICE_DEMAND_START

Examples

disable <servicename> SERVICE_AUTO_START

The above example would disable the auto start service. If you wish to re-enable this service, you would want to use the enable command, using the old start_type.

To list the available services and drivers, run the listsvc command.
