How to stop expired Windows Server auto-shutdown every hour

Initially download PsTools,

1. This tool is provided in zipped format and you need to extract it somewhere.
2. Create folder called — PS on C: drive
3. We will extract all the contents of the zip file in C:\ drive into the folder PS (which we just created)
4. After that you need to start command prompt with Administrator privileges. To do this —
   — -Open- task manager.
   — -Go to- File
   — -Create- New Task
   — -Check the “Create this task with administrator privileges” checkbox.
   — -Type- cmd
   — -Press- Enter
5. You will see the command prompt.
   Type- c:
   Type- cd /
   Type- cd PS
   Type- psexec -i -d -s cmd
6. Click- Agree on the license agreement dialog box
   Then you will get another command prompt running under “nt authoriy\system”
7. To check if the command prompt is running under “nt authority\system” —
   Type- whoami
   You should see nt authority\system.
8. Type- sc delete WLMS
9. Type- regedit
   The above command will open registry editor
   Navigate to- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->System->CurrentControlSet->Services
   Locate- WLMS
10. Right-click the Key and press delete.
11. Restart the computer

The simple way of doing it would be to open command prompt with administrator privileges and run the command “sc delete WLMS” and then delete the WLMS key from the registry. However, if this doesn’t work, you can try the above method which will work for sure..

That’s it 😃
