Answer 1

to stop IIS manually:

1. go to start menu
2. type in IIS

you get a search result for the manager (Internet Information Services (IIS) manager, on the right side of it there are restart/stop/start buttons.

If you don't want IIS to start on startup because its really annoying..:

1. go to start menu.
2. click control panel.
3. click programs.
4. turn windows features on or off
5. wait until the list is loaded
6. search for Internet Information Services (IIS).
7. uncheck the box.
8. Wait until it's done with the changes.
9. restart computer, but then again the info box will tell you to do that anyways (you can leave this for later if you want to).

oh and IIS and xampp basically do the same thing just in a bit different way. ANd if you have Xampp for your projects then its not really all that nessecary to leave it on if you don't ever use it anyways.
