Why doesn't the "Help & Support" Service stay disabled?

Home » Windows » Windows Oddities

Summary: The Help and Support service will restart itself and stay running after you ask for help and support. Apparently that's just how it works.

Why doesn't the "Help & Support" Service stay disabled?

Yep, this service turns itself back on as soon as it gets a chance. Usually as soon as you ask for any kind of help. I verified it myself - I stopped and disabled the service then asked for help. Sure enough it's back to auto-start and running. That's more of a "how" than a "why", but it at least explains the behavior.
