Start and Stop Services from CLI

You can do this with the 'net' command. The list of service names can be found under the following registry key:<br /> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

net stop <service name>
net start <service name>

You can also use the name that is showed in the Services Control Panel by surrounding it with quotes.

net stop "<service>"
net start "<service>"
