Service Impact

A tiny program to stop a Windows Service.

Prerequisites

• .NET Framework 4.8 Runtime
• Administrator privileges

Configuration

The program can be configured in the ServiceImpact.exe.config file using the following properties:

• ServiceName [string] - The name of the Windows Service to stop
• PollingTime [int] - How often to check the Windows Service status (in ms)

How to use

1. Configure the ServiceImpact.exe.config file (by default, set to Genshin Impact anti-cheat with 1 second polling).
2. Run the ServiceImpact.exe file.
3. (optional) Create a shortcut and place it in the Startup folder to start the program on boot.

Why?

Specifically, Genshin Impact currently has its anti-cheat service always running in the background if the game has been run at least once. This program will prevent that from happening when it's not necessary.

Alternative

This can be done with a bat file as seen here.
