What are Windows Services?
Windows Services are specialized programs running in the Windows operating system’s background. They operate independently of user sessions and can be configured to start automatically when the system boots. These services handle core tasks such as network connectivity, system security, and hardware management, ensuring the smooth operation of the Windows environment.
What do Windows Services do?
Windows Services perform essential tasks in various areas, including:
System Management
Windows Services manage critical system functions, such as network connectivity and hardware management. By running in the background, they ensure that resources are efficiently allocated and system performance is optimized. The Host Process for Windows Services allows multiple services to run within a single process, enhancing resource usage and stability.
Application Support
Windows Services provide necessary system-level functions that support applications. They handle background tasks and requests, ensuring applications run smoothly and efficiently. For instance, Windows Deployment Services can automate the deployment of applications across multiple systems, reducing the need for manual installations and configurations.
Security and Control
Windows Services enhance system security by managing user permissions and running security protocols. They monitor for potential threats and ensure the system remains protected. Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) is an example of a service that ensures all systems receive the latest security patches and updates, maintaining the integrity and security of the environment.
Automated Tasks
Windows Services automate routine tasks like updates, backups, and system maintenance. This automation reduces the need for manual intervention, ensuring consistent system performance. The Windows Services Manager allows administrators to configure these services to run automatically at specified times, streamlining the management of automated tasks.
Key Elements of a Windows Service
Windows Services consist of several key elements that define their operation and functionality:
- Service Name and Description: Each service has a unique name and a description that explains its purpose. This information helps administrators identify and manage services effectively.
- Startup Type: This determines how and when the service starts. The options include:
- Automatic: The service starts automatically when the system boots.
- Manual: The service must be started manually by an administrator or another service.
- Disabled: The service is disabled and cannot be started.
- Service Status: This indicates the current state of the service, such as running, stopped or paused. Administrators can control the service status through the Windows Services Manager.
- Log On As: This specifies the user account under which the service runs. It can run under the Local System account, a local user account, or a network account, depending on the service requirements and security considerations.
- Dependencies: Some services depend on other services to function correctly. These dependencies ensure that required services start in the correct order, preventing failures and ensuring smooth operation.
- Service Executable: The actual executable file (.exe) or dynamic-link library (.dll) that implements the service’s functionality. This file is registered with the system and managed by the Host Process for Windows Services if applicable.
- Recovery Options: These settings determine what actions to take if the service fails, such as restarting the service, running a specific program, or restarting the computer. Recovery options help maintain service availability and system stability.
Accessing Windows Services
Accessing and managing Windows Services can be accomplished through several methods, each providing different levels of control and flexibility:
1. Services Console (services.msc)
The Windows Services Manager, also known as the Services console, is the most straightforward way to view and manage Windows Services. To access it:
- Press Win + R to open the Run dialog box.
- Type services.msc and press Enter.
- The Services console will open, displaying a list of all installed services.
From here, you can start, stop, pause, resume, and configure services. You can also set the startup type and view service properties.
2. Task Manager
The Task Manager provides a quick way to manage running services:
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open the Task Manager.
- Go to the Services tab.
- Here, you can view the status of services and start or stop them as needed.
3. Command Line
Using the Command Prompt or PowerShell, you can manage Windows Services with various commands:
- Command Prompt:
- To start a service: net start [service name]
- To stop a service: net stop [service name]
- PowerShell:
- To get the status of a service: Get-Service [service name]
- To start a service: Start-Service [service name]
- To stop a service: Stop-Service [service name]
- To configure the startup type: Set-Service -Name [service name] -StartupType [type]
4. Server Manager
In a server environment, particularly when dealing with Windows Deployment Services or Windows Server Update Services, the Server Manager provides a centralized interface to manage server roles and features:
- Open Server Manager from the Start menu or type Server Manager in the search box.
- Navigate to the Manage menu and select Add Roles and Features to install or configure roles and services.
- Use the Tools menu to access Windows Deployment Services and Windows Server Update Services.
How to Monitor Windows Services
Monitoring Windows Services is crucial for maintaining system health, performance, and reliability. Various tools and methods can be used to monitor these services effectively.

Окно «Службы» в Windows представляет собой оснастку консоли управления (MMC) для просмотра списка и статуса служб, их остановки и запуска, изменения типа запуска службы.
В этой инструкции для начинающих способы открыть службы в Windows 11 и Windows 10 (почти все методы подойдут и для предыдущих версий системы).
Способы открыть «Службы»
Прежде всего, если вы не знаете, как запустить какой-либо системный элемент в Windows 11 или Windows 10, попробуйте использовать поиск в панели задач, с большой вероятностью он поможет. Во всяком случае, открыть службы через него получится:
Если этот метод по какой-то причине вам не подходит, можно использовать следующие варианты:
- Нажмите клавиши Win+R на клавиатуре (или нажмите правой кнопкой мыши по кнопке «Пуск» и выберите пункт «Выполнить»), введите services.msc в окно «Выполнить» и нажмите Ok или Enter.
- В Windows 11 вы можете открыть список «Все приложения» в меню Пуск, выбрать пункт «Инструменты Windows» (его также можно найти в панели управления) и запустить службы оттуда.
- Есть возможность зайти в папку C:\Windows\System32\ и запустить файл services.msc оттуда — это также откроет службы.
- Если открыть консоль «Управление компьютером» (через поиск или Win+R — compmgmt.msc), в разделе «Службы и приложения» — «Службы» вы также получите доступ к оснастке управления службами.
Кроме этого вы можете найти упрощенный вариант интерфейса для отключения некоторых служб в окне «Конфигурация системы» на вкладке «Службы», как на изображении ниже.
Для открытия окна «Конфигурация системы», нажмите клавиши Win+R на клавиатуре, введите msconfig и нажмите Enter.
Надеюсь, предложенных способов будет достаточно. Если же остаются вопросы на тему — задавайте их в комментариях, я постараюсь ответить.

Now that you know how to open services in Windows, you can use Services.msc to stop, start, restart, and refresh services, as well as manage how services start.
- If a service is running, you’ll see Running beside it in the Status column. If not, the column will be blank.
- The Startup Type column tells you whether a service starts automatically or manually.
- You can learn more about a service you don’t recognize by double-clicking the service.
-
If you need to stop a service that’s running:
- Right-click the service you want to stop.
- Click Stop to stop the service.
- Alternatively, you can double-click the service and then click the Stop button, or select the service and click the Stop button in the menu bar.
- If you don’t want to stop a service but want to clear its cache, you can click Refresh instead to refresh its memory.
-
If a service isn’t running, or you want it to stop and restart it:
- Right-click the service.
- Select Start to start the service, or Restart to briefly stop and restart it.
-
If you don’t want to stop a service completely, you can pause it instead. Pausing a service preserves its cache so it can pick up where it left off once resumed. To pause or resume a service:
- Right-click a service.
- Select Pause to pause it.
- To resume, right-click the service and select Resume.
-
You can choose whether a service starts automatically or manually in Services.msc. Just right-click the service and select Properties (or double-click the service to open Properties), then choose your preferred startup type:
-
Automatic: Starts automatically when Windows starts.
- Most critical Windows services are set to Automatic to ensure your PC is always ready to support other services.
- Automatic (Delayed Start): Starts shortly after Windows boots, but not during the initial boot process. This can come in handy if a necessary service is making your PC take a long time to boot.
-
Automatic (Trigger Start): Can start automatically if triggered by an event.[1]
- Manual: Doesn’t start at boot time, but is allowed to start if prompted.
- Manual (Trigger Start): Doesn’t start at boot time, but it may start if triggered by an event.
- Disabled: This service will not be started by any program or service. To start the service, you’ll need to do so manually.
-
Automatic: Starts automatically when Windows starts.

The easiest way to do this from the command prompt is to open Services.msc, double-click the service, and find the name next to «Service Name.»
- For example, the service name for the DNS Client service is dnscache.
- Another option is to open the command prompt and run the command sc query, though that’ll give you a long list that’s difficult to browse. To make the results more useful, type sc query > servicelist.txt to add them to a plain text file.[2]
Then, to view the file, type notepad servicelist.txt and press Enter.
-
- To start a service, type sc start <servicename> and press Enter.
- For example, sc start WbioSrvc.
- To stop a service, use sc stop <servicename>
- Another way to stop and restart services is to use net start <servicename> or net start <servicename>.
- When you use sc, stopping and starting services is immediate.
- When using net, the service will wait for confirmation before stopping and starting.
- It is typical to use sc when stopping and starting services manually and net to stop and start services in your batch files.[3]
- To start a service, type sc start <servicename> and press Enter.

-
You must be an administrator to view, start, or stop services in Windows. If you’re an administrator and see the error «MMC cannot open tunable to open services.msc”, you may be dealing with some system file corruption–in an administrator-level command prompt window:
- Run sfc /scannow to check for and repair errors.
- Run the following commands in order:
- Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
- Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
- DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /RestoreHealth
-
When you pause a Windows service, its internal state and cache remain intact, so it can quickly pick up where it left off upon restart. Stopping a service discards the internal state and cache–if the service has pending tasks, they will be lost if stopped.[4]
-
To enable every service, you’ll need to use MSConfig:
- Type msconfig into the Windows search bar and press Enter.
- Select Normal startup on the General tab.
- Click the Services tab.
- If you don’t want to enable or disable Microsoft services, select «Hide all Microsoft services».
- Click Enable all to enable all services or Disable all to disable them.
- Click OK and then Restart.[5]
-
You can’t–you can only use the command prompt to stop and start services. To restart a service, right-click it in Services.msc and select Restart.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Windows NT operating systems, a Windows service is a computer program that operates in the background.[1] It is similar in concept to a Unix daemon.[1] A Windows service must conform to the interface rules and protocols of the Service Control Manager, the component responsible for managing Windows services. It is the Services and Controller app, services.exe, that launches all the services and manages their actions, such as start, end, etc.[2]
Windows services can be configured to start when the operating system is started and run in the background as long as Windows is running. Alternatively, they can be started manually or by an event. Windows NT operating systems include numerous services which run in context of three user accounts: System, Network Service and Local Service. These Windows components are often associated with Host Process for Windows Services. Because Windows services operate in the context of their own dedicated user accounts, they can operate when a user is not logged on.
Prior to Windows Vista, services installed as an «interactive service» could interact with Windows desktop and show a graphical user interface. In Windows Vista, however, interactive services are deprecated and may not operate properly, as a result of Windows Service hardening.[3][4]
Windows administrators can manage services via:
- The Services snap-in (found under Administrative Tools in Windows Control Panel)
- Sc.exe
- Windows PowerShell
The Services snap-in, built upon Microsoft Management Console, can connect to the local computer or a remote computer on the network, enabling users to:[1]
- view a list of installed services along with service name, descriptions and configuration
- start, stop, pause or restart services[5]
- specify service parameters when applicable
- change the startup type. Acceptable startup types include:
- Automatic: The service starts at system startup.
- Automatic (Delayed): The service starts a short while after the system has finished starting up. This option was introduced in Windows Vista in an attempt to reduce the boot-to-desktop time. However, not all services support delayed start.[6]
- Manual: The service starts only when explicitly summoned.
- Disabled: The service is disabled. It will not run.
- change the user account context in which the service operates
- configure recovery actions that should be taken if a service fails
- inspect service dependencies, discovering which services or device drivers depend on a given service or upon which services or device drivers a given service depends
- export the list of services as a text file or as a CSV file

The command-line tool to manage Windows services is sc.exe. It is available for all versions of Windows NT.[7] This utility is included with Windows XP[8] and later[9] and also in ReactOS.
The sc command’s scope of management is restricted to the local computer. However, starting with Windows Server 2003, not only can sc do all that the Services snap-in does, but it can also install and uninstall services.[9]
The sc command duplicates some features of the net command.[10]
The ReactOS version was developed by Ged Murphy and is licensed under the GPL.[11]

The following example enumerates the status for active services & drivers.[12]
The following example displays the status for the Windows Event log service.[12]
The Microsoft.PowerShell.Management PowerShell module (included with Windows) has several cmdlets which can be used to manage Windows services:
- Get-Service[13]
- New-Service[14]
- Restart-Service[15]
- Resume-Service[16]
- Set-Service[17]
- Start-Service[18]
- Stop-Service[19]
- Suspend-Service[20]
Other management tools
[edit]
Windows also includes components that can do a subset of what the snap-in, Sc.exe and PowerShell do. The net command can start, stop, pause or resume a Windows service.[21] In Windows Vista and later, Windows Task Manager can show a list of installed services and start or stop them. MSConfig can enable or disable (see startup type description above) Windows services.
Windows services are installed and removed via *.INF setup scripts by SetupAPI; an installed service can be started immediately following its installation, and a running service can be stopped before its deinstallation.[22][23][24]
Writing native services
[edit]
For a program to run as a Windows service, the program needs to be written to handle service start, stop, and pause messages from the Service Control Manager (SCM) through the System Services API. SCM is the Windows component responsible for managing service processes.
Wrapping applications as a service
[edit]
The Windows Resource Kit for Windows NT 3.51, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 provides tools to control the use and registration of services: SrvAny.exe acts as a service wrapper to handle the interface expected of a service (e.g. handle service_start and respond sometime later with service_started or service_failed) and allow any executable or script to be configured as a service. Sc.exe allows new services to be installed, started, stopped and uninstalled.[25]

The service CmdAsSystem is configured as interactive whose support is being deprecated. The service may not function properly. The problem is that this script tries to create and start an interactive service. Interactive services will not function correctly due to Session 0 Isolation in Windows Vista.

Here’s a comprehensive list of most — if not all — Windows Service available nowadays on the major Windows operating systems — Windows 10, Windows Server 2016 and so on. The list shows the Display Name and the system’s ShortName, which is the unique name used by the OS to locate and idenfity the service.
The list should contain almost any known built-in service from both Windows and Windows Server: however, if you happen to find a missing one, feel free to write it in the comments section of this post, so that we’ll be able to fill the gap!
