I'm afraid you don't mention what this spawned Python is supposed to do.
Regardless though, it appears that exe is terminating, probably due to an
exception.  You need to arrange to see the output of this process to see
what went wrong.

If it is your .cpp implemented service that vanishes, then I've no idea what
it could be.

It is normal (but frustrating) you can't kill it as the service is running
as LocalSystem.  You may have more luck setting it to run as your user.

I'm a little confused though, as you seem to say the problem is that the
python process has gone - but here you are failing to kill it.

The service (implemented in .cpp) has gone, or the child python executable?
Same answer as above though...
