Coldfusion service restart option not visible

Rz HAS in fact raised this in the cf forums, and there HAS been ample response there.

I'm frankly surprised to see them opening the discussion here now, as it doesn't seem they've considered all that has been offered there. Anyway, folks seeing this here may want to read that thread before responding here, lest they perhaps offer the same suggestions. Or they may consider them if finding this in the future as they suffer a similar problem. 

What do you mean "became in disabled mode" exactly? The buttons were grayed out and weren't clickable? The SYSTEM security context isn't exactly the same as a user account. It doesn't have a settable password most of the time, as far as I know. The operating system manages this itself. Newer versions of ColdFusion don't need to use SYSTEM or "Local System" or any of the other security contexts anyway, they just need appropriate access to their stuff: read/write/delete to C:\ColdFusion2018 or whatever, read to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot or whatever, read/write/delete access to wherever the web server connector goes. You can create a regular user account for that if you like.
