I can run this service successfully, it works perfectly but any time the service is stopped it shows this error:

C:WINDOWSsystem32>sc start EmailAutoResponseService
[SC] StartService FAILED 1053:

The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

This error is shown AFTER OnStop() is called. I’m assuming it has something to do with my OnStart method and/or the way I’m using async/await.

Could someone please point me in the right direction? Feel free to make other suggestions too, is async/await unnecessary here?

This is my Program.cs file:

https://pastebin.com/h4UhmuZD

And this my EmailAutoResponseService.cs file:

https://pastebin.com/ApAgUXph 

These are the relevant methods:

/// <summary>
/// Initializes a new instance of the EmailAutoResponseService class.
/// </summary>
public EmailAutoResponseService()
{
InitializeComponent();

LoadDependencies();

_cts = new CancellationTokenSource();
}

protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
LogTs.LogInfo(“Running OnStart().”);

Task.Run(async () => await StartServiceAsync());
}

protected override void OnStop()
{
LogTs.LogInfo(“Running OnStop().”);

Task.Run(async () => await StopServiceAsync()).Wait();
}

public async Task StartServiceAsync()
{
LogTs.LogInfo(“Running StartServiceAsync().”);

await RunEmailProcessingLoop(_cts.Token);
}

/// <summary>
/// Stops the service asynchronously.
/// </summary>
public async Task StopServiceAsync()
{
LogTs.LogInfo(“Running StopServiceAsync().”);
_cts.Cancel();

// Give some time for the cancellation to be processed
await Task.Delay(1000);
}
