Modern POS Offline Service stuck in stopping status


If you run into a problem where you're trying to stop the Modern POS Offline Sync Service, and it's stuck in "Stopping" status. Then there is another way to completely stop this service using command prompt. The first command we want to type is sc queryex DynamicsRetailModernPOSOfflineSyncService.

You might wonder where the heck did I get that service name from? You can find that out by going into your offline service, right-click and click properties and you should be able to see your service name. After executing that command you should find what's the PID for the offline sync service. The next command we need to run is taskkill /f /pid <PID>. The PID changes over time so make sure to run the first command so you don't end up killing a random service. If you did it correctly you should get a message of "SUCCESS" and the service should be completely stopped. You can check by refreshing your services window.
