Service hung on stopping or starting

[NuQ]

Is there a way to force a service to stop or start without rebooting the
server?

I manually stopped a service, but it just hangs on "stopping". It
successfully stopped the dependent service.

You are probably correct, thanks.

I think you have a bigger problem with this service+ if it hangs on
stop, there is something wrong with it. Forcing it to stop is not the
solution; you should repair the installation, or reinstall it all together.
