The Get-Service command is a powerful tool in the Windows environment that allows users to retrieve information about the services running on their system. Services are background processes that provide core functionality to the operating system and other applications. Understanding how to use Get-Service is essential for system administrators and IT professionals to effectively manage and troubleshoot their Windows systems.

In the Windows environment, Get-Service is a native command that can be executed in both Command Prompt (CMD) and PowerShell. It provides a comprehensive list of all services on the system, including their status (running or stopped), display name, and service name. This information can be useful for various tasks such as monitoring system health, identifying problematic services, and automating service-related operations.

Examples:
1. To retrieve a list of all services on the system, open Command Prompt or PowerShell and type the following command:

Get-Service

This will display a table with information about each service, including its status, display name, and service name.

2. To filter the results and display only running services, you can use the following command:

Get-Service | Where-Object {$_.Status -eq "Running"}

This will return a list of services that are currently running on the system.

3. If you want to stop a specific service, you can use the Stop-Service command followed by the service name. For example, to stop the "Print Spooler" service, execute the following command:

Stop-Service -Name "Spooler"
