Kaspersky experts recommend against manually stopping Kaspersky Endpoint Security because doing so exposes the computer and your personal data to threats. If necessary, you can pause computer protection for as long as you need to, without stopping the application.
To stop the application from the command line, the Disable external management of system services check box must be cleared.
You can start or stop the application from the command line.
The file klpsm.exe, which is included in the Kaspersky Endpoint Security distribution kit, is used to start or stop the application from the command line.
To start the application:
In the command line, type klpsm.exe start_avp_service.
To close the application:
In the command line, type klpsm.exe stop_avp_service.
