Service Error: stop: Failed to stop WriteBackExtreme PHP App Server

Service Error: stop: Failed to stop WriteBackExtreme PHP App Server: The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

When there is an unexpected shutdown of the system, it occasionally happens that Windows removes the WriteBackExtreme service from Windows Services. Upon startup WriteBackExtreme tries to startup the service that is not there anymore.

Steps to resolve this

  1. Start WriteBackExtreme manually as an administrator.

  2. Go to configuration

  3. Toggle the switch 'Initiate upon startup using a background service' off and on again

  4. Click Start WriteBackExtreme

  5. Open Windows services and verify WriteBackExtreme is listed again.
