How To Start And Stop A Windows Service Manually & Change It's Startup Type
Windows services long-running executable applications that run in their own Windows sessions. These services can be automatically started when the computer boots, can be paused and restarted, and do not show any user interface. They run in the background. Sometimes to maintain the normal functionality of an application, we need to manually stop, start, or restart a service. In this video, we have covered how to start or stop a service in Windows, as well as, how to change its startup type.
We have covered two methods. The first method is using GUI and the second method is using command prompt commands. The command prompt method is useful for those users who want to create a batch script to carry out multiple actions.
I hope the video proves to be informative. Thank you.
Commands used in the video:
1. To stop or start a service:
net stop "SERVICE-NAME"
