In regards to Blue Iris 4 or 5, when you uncheck "Run as a Windows service" in the Startup tab. Does this stop the BlueIris service and remove it automatically so it doesn't show up under the Windows 10 Services Management console or would I have to do this afterwards? For example, if I opened an elevated CMD prompt and did the following:

SC STOP BlueIris
SC DELETE BlueIris

This question has nothing to do with upgrading to Blue Iris 5, just on how to convert Blue Iris so it runs as a standalone app from a service. In the past, Blue Iris 2 & 3 would stop the service but still leave "BlueIris" listed in Windows' Services. I'm not sure whether Blue Iris 4 or 5 handles this better, so I thought I would ask.

It just stops the service as far as I know, you’d have to uninstall BI in order to remove it or use the SC command as you’ve said to do it manually.
