ColdFusion version 2025 restart

Here are some more thoughts in addition to Charlie’s:

1. Open the Command Prompt (CMD) and run the following command (to find services whose names contain “ColdFusion”)
    

   sc query | findstr /I "ColdFusion"

   
   The output should be something like
    

   SERVICE_NAME: ColdFusion 2025 .NET Service
   DISPLAY_NAME: ColdFusion 2025 .NET Service
   SERVICE_NAME: ColdFusion 2025 Application Server
   DISPLAY_NAME: ColdFusion 2025 Application Server
   SERVICE_NAME: ColdFusion 2025 ODBC Agent
   DISPLAY_NAME: ColdFusion 2025 ODBC Agent
   SERVICE_NAME: ColdFusion 2025 ODBC Server
   DISPLAY_NAME: ColdFusion 2025 ODBC Server
   SERVICE_NAME: ColdFusion2025Add-onServices
   DISPLAY_NAME: ColdFusion 2025 Add-on Services

   If you see this, then that is good news. It tells you that the ColdFusion 2025 Application Server service does exist and is registered with Windows.

   In addition, the lines

   SERVICE_NAME: ColdFusion 2025 Application Server
   DISPLAY_NAME: ColdFusion 2025 Application Server

   tell you that the service is present in the Windows Service Control Manager.
    

2. There are two likely reasons why the ColdFusion 2025 service doesn't appear in Windows Services:
   (a) the Windows Services console is using a “filtered” view (similar to the reason Charlie has given);
   (b) the Services console is sorted in a non-intuitive way (for example, non-aphabetically).
   
   To correct for (a), go to the Action menu in the Windows Services console and select Refresh (alternatively, just press the F5 key).

   To correct for (b), click on the Name column to sort service names alphabetically.

    

Do you really mean you don’t see “the start/stop option” for the service? Or might you mean you don’t see the service (which would be called ColdFusion 2025 Application Server”).

If it’s THAT issue, just try refreshing the Services panel (or close and re-open it). If that fixes things, it would be that you had had the Services panel open before running the CF installer. Installing CF (or any new service) would not cause that Services panel to be refreshed. You’d need to do that. 

If instead you confirm (even after doing this) that “it’s there” but you see no “start/stop option”, can you elaborate? Do you mean you right-click on the service and Start and Stop are greyed out? That certainly shouldn’t happen that BOTH are greyed out.

Let’s here how things go for you.
