Whenever I kill process w3wp.exe, it's being recreated anew. It's a child of svchost.exe. Even stopping the IIS using the IIS Manager leaves it alive. How come ?
It is in IIS-8, Windows server 2012

in inetmgr.msc, you need to stop the application pool.
look at the commandline for the w3wp.exe in question, to determine which app pool you wish to stop. you can use a tool like Process Explorer to view the process commandline, by double-clicking the process.
then in inetmgr.msc, expand the tree and go to "Application Pools". find the correct pool, and Right-click -> Stop.
you will likely have to disable the WWW service in order to prevent it from starting again at next boot. use services.msc to do this.

Can't you just uninstall IIS (or disable the feature/role for Application Server/Web IIS?) – None – 2013-09-18T04:23:06.663
