Problem happens at stop point (obviously stop then start) this is the batch file. I would try the /y option and see if that helps.

But myself, I would simply add another NET START for the required service in the batch/cmd file prior to NET START of the service you are controlling.

Adding it to schedule task was not successful. Running it manually I noticed it stops if there is a dependency service asking me if I want to restart the dependent service too. Checking on internet and help for net stop I couldn't find a switch that answers yes to question. Anyone knows how to force it to answer yes to the question? Thanks
