@Tom

- Open the Services.msc from the computer

- Select the Apache-Tomcat-Service, right-click and select properties

- Here you can find the Actual Tomcat Service Name

- The tomcat service configuration is set on below 2 files present in **apache-tomcat/bin** folder

- The \ ***w.exe** file is used for updating the service parameters like heap size etc.

- Name of the \ ***w.exe** file has to match the service name, otherwise even if you make changes in the parameters, those do not take effect

**Ex:** If your tomcat service name is “ **abc** ” then you need to create a new file with the name “ **abcw.exe** ” and do the configuration changes in this file to take effect
