You have some UM component that can call the SCM APIs on your driver?s behalf. Basically, you can use another service to start/stop the orig service in question

Top tip: Don’t try to stop another service from a service that has just
been told to stop - you’ll lock up SCM for 30 seconds.

Have an already-running user mode component somewhere that you signal from the driver, requesting that the user mode component do the necessary work on behalf of the driver.
