How to stop the AdminServer with proadsv -stop command in Windows

How to stop the AdminServer with proadsv -stop command when the AdminService starts the AdminServer
Why can the AdminServer not be terminated from a PROENV command line: proadsv -stop
When the PROENV shell is started "as Administrator' the AdminServer does not shutdown
The AdminServer can be stopped from Windows Services but shutdown cannot be scripted with: proadsv -stop
When logged in as an 'Administrator' user, the proadsv -stop command in Windows fails to stop the AdminServer when started as a Service:

OpenEdge AdminServer is started by default in Windows as an AdminService by the "LOCAL SYSTEM' user or with the LOCAL SERVICE account.

OPTION 1: Change the AdminService login account to 'Administrator', as follows:

1. Windows Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services
2. Right-click the AdminService and choose 'Properties'
3. Select the second 'Log on' Tab
4. Change the account to 'Administrator'

Use the 'Administrator' user to stop the AdminServer from a Proenv command prompt:
$  proadsv -stop  

Alternatively create a specific user for the AdminService "Log on" Tab:
