When you're trying to restart your Desktop Sync App Service, you may notice the status getting stuck on Stopping rather than going from Stopped to Running.

To resolve this, follow the steps below:

  1. Open your PC's Task Manager.

  2. Click the Processes tab.

    📌TIP: You may need to select More details first if it is showing the minimised view.

  3. Select the following:

    • OCRex.Desktop.AutoEntry.Client

    • AutoEntry.Service

  4. Select End Task on both.

    Processes tab in Task Manager highligting OCRex.Desktop.AutoEntry.Client  and AutoEntry.Service

  5. Open the Sync App again and ensure you're able to view your company list.
