On the ribbon, click on Start  and then click Configuration Manager Service Manager.     Once Configuration Manager Service Manager  is open, scroll down to the SMS_STATUS_MANAGER  and highlight it. Right click on it and Query . Once it shows the status, right click on it and click on Stop . Wait a minute and then right click on it and Query  to verify that it stopped.
