To stop and restart the Application Host Helper Service:
  1. Open an elevated Command Prompt window. Click Start, point to All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
  2. At the command prompt, type net stop apphostsvc.
  3. At the command prompt, type net start apphostsvc.
