SC - ChangeServiceConfig Failed 5: on cmd

I want to stop the service run automatically when system boots.

For specific information, I'm logged in with "administrator" account. And opened cmd with "run as administrator"

here's the log on cmd.

C:\>sc config AppIDSvc start= auto
[SC] ChangeServiceConfig SUCCESS

C:\>sc config AppIDSvc start= demand
[SC] ChangeServiceConfig FAILED 5:

Access is denied.

I don't understand why I can change startup type to auto but cannot to demand.

Any ideas?

You can just hack the registry: (1=Sys,2=Auto,3=Manual,4=Disabled)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\WSService\Start  =  4

Run cmd.exe as administrator by right clicking on CMD and selecting Run as Administratoror if Windows 8 or 10, right click Start and select Command Prompt (Admin) then in cmd.exe and type:

net user administrator /active:yes

in the same cmd.exe retry:

sc config AppIDSvc start= demand

Which should return:

[SC] ChangeServiceConfig SUCCESS

If however it still gives the access denied error, please Restart the Computer and then run cmd.exe as Administrator and then retry:

sc config AppIDSvc start= demand
