Answer 1

You can stop and stop all application pools respectively using the following powershell script. The second line below elevates permissions. You could exclude this and just run as administrator.

Stop all application pools script

Import-Module WebAdministration

if (!([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal][Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole] "Administrator")) { Start-Process powershell.exe "-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File `"$PSCommandPath`"" -Verb RunAs; exit }

$AppPools=Get-ChildItem IIS:\AppPools | Where {$_.State -eq "Started"}

ForEach($AppPool in $AppPools)
{
 Stop-WebAppPool -name $AppPool.name
# Write-Output ('Stopping Application Pool: {0}' -f $AppPool.name)
}

Start all application pools script

  Import-Module WebAdministration

    if (!([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal][Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole] "Administrator")) { Start-Process powershell.exe "-NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File `"$PSCommandPath`"" -Verb RunAs; exit }

    $AppPools=Get-ChildItem IIS:\AppPools | Where {$_.State -eq "Stopped"}
    ForEach($AppPool in $AppPools)
    {
     Start-WebAppPool -name $AppPool.name
    # Write-Output ('Starting Application Pool: {0}' -f $AppPool.name)
    }
