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 (the space before disabled is necessary):
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
