How to Restart a Service Uploader Using Windows RUN Command

Sometimes the Retention Pro Service can become stalled or disconnected on your server/host computer which will require it to be restarted.

Make sure you are on the server/host computer.

You can to clarify this by confirming:

  • It’s the main server that all your other computers are connected to

  • It’s where the main installation was done for your point of sale

  • It's also the computer when your point of sale company needs to work on the system

Press the WINDOWS key and R at the same time
