You can use WPKG to start, stop or restart services running on your Windows workstations.

To do it, simply use a net command.

The following example will restart a service:

net stop <service_name>
net start <service_name>


Other possibilities are pausing the service:

net pause <service_name>


And continuing a service that was earlier paused:

net continue <service_name>


To disable a service permanently ("Start Type"), you can use the sc command:

sc config <service_name> start=disabled


To list all services that are currently running use net start from the CLI (command line) without parameters:

net start
