Can't stop Notebook Fan Control Service in Task Manager #74

Describe the bug I was trying to uninstall the program because the configs weren't showing up and wanted to try and reinstall it, but for some reason I couldn't stop the service that's running in the background, which means I couldn't delete the files. I even tried restarting my laptop and the service automatically started up with my os, even though I did not select the option for the program to open on start.

To Reproduce I personally first downloaded the old version of nbfc, which didn't work, then tried to install the newer version, opened the program up, saw it didn't work, so I tried closing it but it didn't let me.

Expected behavior I expected the folder to be completely deleted, but it couldn't finish because the service was still running and I couldn't just forcefully stop it.

Update: Managed to delete it fully. At first I found a way to delete files using cmd, which didn't work, even if run as administrator, but then I found out you can just stop the service through msconfig and it lets you delete it, apart from one. Can't remember the name, because I tried renaming it(which it let me) to try and somehow make the program using it unable to use it, but that didn't work. Even tried renaming the file extension to see if it would work, but it had no effect. Luckily, a simple restart let me delete the file fully, and the problem was solved.
