The service is responsible for restarting winvnc in the correct session.
Is the winvnc.exe ( user session) still running after you stop the service
( systray icon still visable)

if still systray icon of winvnc
you have closed connection of vnc but not winvnc
you need right click and select stop service and NOT just close VNC connections

winvnc service
Close VNC connection effect close connection and restart service and ready listen.

winvnc application mode
Close VNC connection effect close connection and close winvnc
