Only thing I cant get to work which causes the app/service to hang on Win11 25H2 is SERVICE\_CONTROL\_USERMODEREBOOT. > **[Whats New in Services for Windows 8 - Win32 apps](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/services/what-s-new-in-services-for-windows-8)** > > Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 include the following new capabilities for services. Cant find anything in the MS docs and the LLM's have no suggestion either. And its not a C6/C11 thing, because just compiled in C11 with the SERVICE\_CONTROL\_USERMODEREBOOT code enabled and it still hangs. Edit2. I dont know if this is pertinent, but the Windows Rust rewrite has highlighted an issue with SERVICE\_CONTROL\_USERMODEREBOOT and `SERVICE_CONTROL_TIMECHANGE` so I dont know if there is anything going on behind the scenes with the Win32 API's. At this stage I havent even explored the extra notifications that services can handle now, but if the Rust team in MS are having problems, this might explain mine.

Edit3. If you enable the code, this is what you will see in DebugView. Note the GetLastError 13, invalid structure when the SERVICE\_CONTROL\_USERMODEREBOOT is used. ```auto [12428] ServiceMain : SetServiceStatusControlsAccepted() [12428] SetServiceStatusControlsAccepted : Start [12428] SetServiceStatusControlsAccepted : pdwControlsAccepted (0) [12428] SetServiceStatusControlsAccepted : GSS:dwControlsAccepted = 0 [12428] SetServiceStatusControlsAccepted : GSS:dwControlsAccepted (0) = 0 [12428] SetServiceStatusControlsAccepted : GSS:dwControlsAccepted (1) = Bor( GSS:dwControlsAccepted, ISEQ:SetServiceStatus:ControlsAccepted:SERVICE_ACCEPT_STOP ) [12428] SetServiceStatusControlsAccepted : GSS:dwControlsAccepted (3) = Bor( GSS:dwControlsAccepted, ISEQ:SetServiceStatus:ControlsAccepted:SERVICE_ACCEPT_PAUSE_CONTINUE ) [12428] SetServiceStatusControlsAccepted : GSS:dwControlsAccepted (7) = Bor( GSS:dwControlsAccepted, ISEQ:SetServiceStatus:ControlsAccepted:SERVICE_ACCEPT_SHUTDOWN ) [12428] SetServiceStatusControlsAccepted : GSS:dwControlsAccepted (15) = Bor( GSS:dwControlsAccepted, ISEQ:SetServiceStatus:ControlsAccepted:SERVICE_ACCEPT_PARAMCHANGE ) [12428] SetServiceStatusControlsAccepted : GSS:dwControlsAccepted (31) = Bor( GSS:dwControlsAccepted, ISEQ:SetServiceStatus:ControlsAccepted:SERVICE_ACCEPT_NETBINDCHANGE ) [12428] SetServiceStatusControlsAccepted : GSS:dwControlsAccepted (63) = Bor( GSS:dwControlsAccepted, ISEQ:SetServiceStatus:ControlsAccepted:SERVICE_ACCEPT_HARDWAREPROFILECHANGE ) [12428] SetServiceStatusControlsAccepted : GSS:dwControlsAccepted (127) = Bor( GSS:dwControlsAccepted, ISEQ:SetServiceStatus:ControlsAccepted:SERVICE_ACCEPT_POWEREVENT ) [12428] SetServiceStatusControlsAccepted : GSS:dwControlsAccepted (255) = Bor( GSS:dwControlsAccepted, ISEQ:SetServiceStatus:ControlsAccepted:SERVICE_ACCEPT_SESSIONCHANGE ) [12428] SetServiceStatusControlsAccepted : GSS:dwControlsAccepted (511) = Bor( GSS:dwControlsAccepted, ISEQ:SetServiceStatus:ControlsAccepted:SERVICE_ACCEPT_PRESHUTDOWN ) [12428] SetServiceStatusControlsAccepted : GSS:dwControlsAccepted (1023) = Bor( GSS:dwControlsAccepted, ISEQ:SetServiceStatus:ControlsAccepted:SERVICE_ACCEPT_TIMECHANGE ) [12428] SetServiceStatusControlsAccepted : GSS:dwControlsAccepted (2047) = Bor( GSS:dwControlsAccepted, ISEQ:SetServiceStatus:ControlsAccepted:SERVICE_ACCEPT_TRIGGEREVENT ) [12428] SetServiceStatusControlsAccepted : GSS:dwControlsAccepted (4095) = Bor( GSS:dwControlsAccepted, ISEQ:SetServiceStatus:ControlsAccepted:SERVICE_ACCEPT_USERMODEREBOOT ) [12428] SetServiceStatusControlsAccepted : Start [12428] ServiceMain : SetServiceStatus() [12428] SetServiceStatus : Start [12428] SetServiceStatus : GLO:RVBool (1) = ISWA_SetServiceStatus( GLLA:SetServiceStatus (1988903296), | [12428] SetServiceStatus : GSCV:ServiceCtrlHandlerHandle (11192000), | [12428] SetServiceStatus : Address( GSS:ServiceStatus (5700816) ) [12428] SetServiceStatus : GLO:RVBool (0) = ISWA_SetServiceStatus( GLLA:SetServiceStatus (1988903296), | [12428] SetServiceStatus : GSCV:ServiceCtrlHandlerHandle (11192000), | [12428] SetServiceStatus : Address( GSS:ServiceStatus (5700816) ) [12428] SetServiceStatus : Glo:LastError (13) = ISWA_GetLastError() [12428] SetServiceStatus : GSS:dwServiceType (16) [12428] SetServiceStatus : GSS:dwCurrentState (4) [12428] SetServiceStatus : GSS:dwControlsAccepted (4095) [12428] SetServiceStatus : GSS:dwWin32ExitCode (0) [12428] SetServiceStatus : GSS:dwServiceSpecificExitCode (0) [12428] SetServiceStatus : GSS:dwCheckPoint (0) [12428] SetServiceStatus : GSS:dwWaitHint (0) [12428] SetServiceStatus : End [12428] ServiceMain : GWOS:RV:WaitObject:SignalEvent (0) = ISWA_WaitForMultipleObjectsEx( GLLA:WaitForMultipleObjectsEx (1985276240), | [12428] ServiceMain : GWOE:Event:WaitObjectHandlesArrayCnt (18), | [12428] ServiceMain : Address( GWOE:Event:WaitObjectHandlesArray (8403380) ), | [12428] ServiceMain : False, | [12428] ServiceMain : ISEQ:WaitObject:INFINITE (-1), | [12428] ServiceMain : False ) ``` Edit 4 Following on from hankbao's comment above, can confirm this does and does not work. Change the time manually. The service event fires twice. The first event has the correct time, The second event shows the 1st event NEW date time in both OLD and NEW date time. Change the Timezone, as if flying abroad, and the service event only fires once. The OLD and NEW date time both show the OLD date time. > **[SERVICE\_TIMECHANGE\_INFO (winsvc.h) - Win32 apps](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winsvc/ns-winsvc-service_timechange_info)** > > Contains system time change settings.
