Client Service

Post by nagan »

Incidentally I installed this Everything.exe -install-client-service in my XP unit. I did mention in this thread here that I am changing the Autostart option for the service from automatic to manual. I am not too sure whether I installed any software later , but at the next start , exactly at the login screen my system hung. I went to the safe mode and checked that the client service entry in service has changed itself to automatic start? once again, the I disabled it.Once again at the log in screen there was a hang. Tried to get back to safe screen , used ERDNT software to restore the main registry back as 2 days ago , system restore etc. No avail. Then at the next safe start , I uninstalled the client service , though it is not immediately reflected and also pushed back the registry by further two days. Luckily it logged in again.There is a lot of roundabout info except for the simple uninstall of service which had to be done.. :) . For that matter this service may not be intended at all for any general use .... :)

This hang might be caused by allowing the client service to interact with the desktop.

To disallow the client service to interact with the desktop:
  • Run services.msc
  • Open the properties for the Everything Client service.
  • Click the Log On tab.
  • Uncheck Allow service to interact with desktop.
Disallowing the client service to interact with the desktop will be the default option for the next beta update.

Again, I do not recommend you install/run the client service.
The client service is not for general use.
