There is a system service which needs to be disabled, or at least the

I am unable to terminate it.

The Stop / Pause option for the service is grayed out. Is there any
way
around it?


Thank you in advance.

I have tried stopping from services.msc but it does not work (buttons
are grayed out). It is a firewall service. I need to temporary disable
it as it is interfering with an application.


As I wrote before: Disable the service, then reboot the machine.
