sc queryex wuauserv
In our case the PID of the wuauserv service is 816.
To force stop a hung process with the PID 816, run the command:
taskkill /PID 816 /F
You can stop a hung service more elegantly without checking the service PID manually. The taskkill utility has the /FI option, which allows you to use a filter to select the necessary services or processes. You can shutdown a specific service with the command:
taskkill /F /FI "SERVICES eq wuauserv"
Or you can skip the service name at all and killing all services in a hung state with the command:
taskkill /F /FI "status eq not responding"
