title: ServiceController seems to be unable to stop a service
body: <p>I'm trying to stop a Windows service on a local machine (the service is <code>Topshelf.Host</code>, if that matters) with this code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>serviceController.Stop();
  serviceController.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped, timeout);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code>timeout</code> is set to 1 hour, but service never actually gets stopped. Strange thing with it is that from within Services MMC snap-in I see it in "Stopping" state first, but after a while it reverts back to "Started". However, when I try to stop it manually, an error occurs: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Windows could not stop the Topshelf.Host service on Local Computer.
  Error 1061: The service cannot accept control messages at this time.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Am I missing something here?</p>
