The W3SVC service on Server2012R2 failed to stop in the timeout period

Question

Our Devs are trying to do a "push" and it is failing on a single IIS server (running Windows Server 2012 R2) because the push is unable to stop the WWW Publishing Service (W3SVC). We have been rebooting the Svr2012R2 VM as a workaround fix to the issue, but need to get to the heart of the problem.

I read here that the issue could be linked to SvcHost.exe process, but am unsure at this point. Any help or feedback appreciated, thank you.

What methods or commands are they using to stop the service? — SamErde, Jul 17 '18 at 19:22
I've used 'net stop W3SVC -force' to try and stop the service, but once the service has failed to stop it does not work. — KidACrimson, Jul 18 '18 at 18:43
Apparently just re-configuring the App Pools fixed it, I've been told. Thanks, all. — KidACrimson, Jul 24 '18 at 15:47

This is solved by installing updates, apparently there was some issue with one of the recent Windows updates:
