Windows services: list, start, stop, restart, configure (PowerShell).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Windows Services Manage Windows background services — list, start, stop, restart, and change startup type — using PowerShell's built-in service cmdlets. ## When to Use - User wants to list running or stopped Windows services - User asks to start, stop, or restart a specific service - User wants to change a service's startup type (automatic, manual, disabled) - User needs to find which service owns a process or port - User wants to check if a service is healthy or crashing ## How to Use ### List all running services ```powershell Get-Service | Where-Object Status -eq 'Running' | Select-Object Name, DisplayName, Status | Sort-Object DisplayName ``` ### Find a specific service ```powershell Get-Service -Name "*sql*" | Select-Object Name, DisplayName, Status, StartType ``` ### Start, stop, or restart a service ```powershell Start-Service -Name "wuauserv" # Windows Update — start Stop-Service -Name "wuauserv" -Force # Windows Update — stop Restart-Service -Name "Spooler" # Print Spooler — restart ``` ### Check service startup type ```powershell Get-Service -Name "wuauserv" | Select-Object Name, StartType, Status ``` …

How to install
mdr add taracodlabs/aiden/windows-services@sha256:8578728ff049ceacThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
