In some instances, the Wowza service needs to pass an additional parameter to the JVM so the service still runs after logoff:

From Sun's Docs:
When the -Xrs option is used on Sun's JVM, the JVM does not install a console control handler, implying that it does not watch for or process CTRL_C_EVENT, CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT, CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT, or CTRL_SHUTDOWN_EVENT.

  1. Edit C:\Program Files\Wowza Media Systems\Wowza Media Server Pro 1.6.0\bin\WowzaMediaServerPro-Service.conf
  2. Add additional parameter to the JVM engine under the appropriate section in the config file
    • wrapper.java.additional.7=-Xrs
