Welcome to the Community,

maybe Process Explorer - Windows Sysinternals | Microsoft Docs will help!?

Anyway, is there a special reason why you want to stay with vCenter for Windows?

see Farewell, vCenter Server for Windows - VMware vSphere Blog

Hello and Thank you,

i Have attempted to use that process explorer to to stop those process, I may not have sufficient rights to do so, some stop and others I get an admin error of some kind,

We do get the option to click ok - and choose upgrade anyway, will those services/instances be corrupted during the upgrade process if we choose to ignore the error? i guess what happens when we go with theupgrade anyways without stopping these services?

as far as it being a windows environment, it's what our agency decided to go with, no plans of switching. have to make it work with what we have for now.
