# Missing Services and Tasks

## Services

There may be left overs on the system or unproperly installed packages that may lead to missing services.

We can find these missing service binaries with this command:

```
autorunsc64.exe -a s | more
```

We are looking for "File not found:" entries. 

If we have write access to the folder that holds the missing executable, we can copy our binary over and elevate our privileges.

```
icacls c:\folder
copy c:\executable c:\folder\missing.exe
```

## Tasks

The same applies for tasks, we can find this with: 

```
autoruns64.exe -a t | more
```

and repeat the procedure above with services.
