PSService in Safe Mode #30

Closed andreiv3103 closed 2 years ago

andreiv3103 commented 2 years ago

Hello

I am trying to use PSService to run a service that uninstalls a security app. The uninstall must be done in Safe Mode. The problem is that, during testing, I noticed that PsService won't start in Safe Mode. I created and registered the service in normal mode, works just fine, but after rebooting in Safe Mode, I get an error saying that this service cannot run in Safe Mode when I try to start it.

I did add the registry key to HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\Minimal. The key is there, correctly set but the service won't start. Anything I can do to make it work? Thanks.

Sorry, I had never tried running PSService in safe mode. I don't know what's required to make it work. And I don't know if it's even feasible. If you do find a solution, please contribute it !

Don't worry, that's OK. Your tools are very useful and it is very nice of you to share them. No one expects you to test all possible use cases :) I found another project here on GitHub and it works in safe mode. So problem solved. This is the project:
