1.System Service Console

Log in as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group, click the “Start →Run” menu item, and type “Services.msc&rdquo in the dialog box that appears. And press Enter to open the “Service Management Console” as shown in Figure 1. You can also start the console by clicking on “Start →Control Panel →Performance & Maintenance→Administrative Tools →Services"

in the service console, a double-click any service, you can open the service properties dialog box, as shown in FIG. Here, we can configure, manage, and set up, shut down, or disable services that meet our needs by changing the startup type of the service.

In & ldquo; regular & rdquo; tab, & ldquo; Service Name & rdquo; refers to services & ldquo; short & rdquo ;, name and is displayed in the registry; & ldquo; display name & rdquo ; refers to the name displayed for each service in the service configuration interface; "description" is a simple explanation for the service; "the path of the executable" is the specific location of the executable file corresponding to the service "Startup type" is the core of the entire service configuration. For any service, there are usually three types of startup, namely automatic, manual and disabled. You can change the startup type of the service by selecting it from the drop-down menu. "Service status" means whether the current status of the service is started or stopped. Generally, we can use the following "Start" "stop"stop”,“pause”,“restore” buttons to change The status of the service.

Let's take a look at three different types of startup states:

Automatic: This service starts when the system starts, it will extend the time it takes to start, some services are required Set to automatic, such as Remote Procedure Call (RPC). Due to dependencies or other influences, some other services must also be set to automatic. It is best not to change this service, otherwise the system will not work properly.

Manual: If a service is set to manual, you can run it again when needed. This saves a lot of system resources and speeds up system startup.

Disabled: This service can no longer be run. This setting is generally used when improving system security. If you suspect that a strange service will bring security risks to your system, you can try to stop it and see if the system can run normally. If everything is normal, you can disable it directly. If you need this service in the future, you must first set the startup type to automatic or manual before starting it.

Click on the "Dependencies" tab, where we can see that the other services required to run the selected service are indicated in the top list, and the bottom list indicates that the selected service needs to be running. A service that runs correctly. It shows that some services do not run separately and must rely on other services. Before stopping or disabling a service, be sure to look at the dependencies of the service. If there are other services that need to be started, you can't stop it. Knowing the dependencies of the service is an essential step before stopping or disabling a service.
