 I never set Tor to run as a service. Somehow, it did it itself. I read the
 FAQ for how to stop it using command Tor --stop service (and Tor --delete
 service) but I get "Tor is not recognized as a service" from my Command
 Prompt. I NEED to stop this service running at startup because everytime
 my computer boots up I'm getting a message that my Tor is out of date
 (it's not) and needs to be updated.
