Windows is a service...

No, you're an Operating System. If you were a service, I'd be going into task manager, killing your process, and setting the service startup mode to Disabled.

Why would you be using Windows for displaying literally what looks like a static image, maybe a video? Seems like massive overkill.

True, but if you're a small independent business it's pretty reasonable to believe they don't have any techies. Just grabbing a basic Windows PC that you already understand is probably a simple enough solution.

This was in Gregg's.

No excuse then, report it to Gregg himself

Gregg should really be the one updating the PCs
