Trying to create a 2nd instance with dbca and receiving ora-01081: cannot start already-running ORAC

Hello,

In Oracle 12c on a Windows 2012 server, I am trying to create a 2nd instance from the existing ohomeuser directory setup and I have received ora-01081: cannot start already-running ORACLE - shut it down first during the first step.  I checked the defined and running services and sure enough, the new SID was created and running.

My question is why are the new services listed below already running when the dbca process has barely stared?

OracleJobScheduleNEWSID

OracleServiceNEWSID

OracleVssWriterNEWSID

And is it as simple as stopping the OracleServiceNEWSID service to continue / finish creating the new instance?
