Windows Services, also known as system services, are background processes that are used to an application or OS. Services, when enabled, allow applications to run for extended periods of time without user interaction. Services can be configured to start automatically when the computer starts, even before the user logs on.
If you need to enable or disable a service, you can do so using the Windows Control Panel. Here’s how to do it:
1. Open Control Panel.
2. On the left pane, click on “System and Security”.
3. Now, click on “Administrative Tools”.
4. In the Administrative Tools window, double-click on “Services”.
5. You will now see a list of all services installed in Windows.
6. To enable or disable a service, right-click on the service and select either “Start” or “Stop” from the context menu.
7. If you want the service to start automatically when the computer restarts, you can also check the “Startup type” box.
8. Once you’ve made your changes, click “OK”.
The process for enabling and disabling services is the same in most versions of Windows. Be sure to use caution when making changes to services, as they can affect the stability of the system. If you’re unsure of what a particular service does, you can search for the service name online to learn more about it.
