Microsoft Driver Cannot Be Stopped

C:\Windows\system32\drivers>sc stop ucpd [SC] ControlService FAILED 1052: The requested control is not valid for this service. C:\Windows\system32\drivers>sc query ucpd SERVICE_NAME: ucpd TYPE : 2 FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVER STATE : 4 RUNNING (NOT STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN) WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0) SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0) CHECKPOINT : 0x0 WAIT_HINT : 0x0

A Windows command prompt shows an attempt to stop the UCPD file system driver failing, followed by a query confirming that it is running and explicitly marked as not stoppable, not pausable, and ignoring shutdown. The joke is that Microsoft’s User Choice Protection driver is so persistent that even an administrator’s command cannot disable it, making this a reaction to unstoppable software or unwanted system control.
