How to Stop, Start, Pause, Resume, and Restart a Service
Lesson 1 Working with Services
After selecting a service in the Services console, you can control the service in the following
ways:
Stop a service When you stop a service, the service becomes unavailable. The service
does not restart until you start the service again or until the next time Windows
starts up (if the service is configured to start automatically during startup).
The Services console does not let you stop a service on which other services
depend. You must stop services in the correct order of dependency. To stop a service,
click the service, and then click the Stop button (or right-click the service,
and then click Stop).
Start a service You can start a service that you have stopped or a service that is
enabled, but for which the startup type is set to Manual. To start a service, click
the service, and then click the Start button (or right-click the service, and then
click Start).
Pause a service Only some services can be paused. When you pause a service, the
service refuses any new connections but does not disconnect existing connections
to the service. An example of such a service is the World Wide Web Publishing service,
which is the component of Internet Information Services (IIS) that allows
users to connect to a Web site hosted on the local computer. When you pause this
service, IIS no longer allows users to connect to any local Web sites, but it does
not disconnect existing users from the Web site. Pausing a service allows you to
shut down a service gracefully, without interrupting users or other services. After
the users or services that are using a service stop using it, you can then stop the
