Start or stop Windows service from command line (CMD)
We normally use Services.msc to start or stop or disable or enable any service. We can do the same from windows command line also using net and sc utilities. Below are commands for controlling the operation of a service.
Command to stop a service:
To start a service:
You need to have administrator privileges to run net start/stop commands. If you are just a normal user on the computer, you would get an error like below.
To disable a service:
To enable a service:
To make a service start automatically with system boot:
Note: Space is mandatory after ‘=’ in the above sc commands.
This SC command works on a Windows 7 machine and also on the down-level editions of Windows i.e Windows XP/2003 and Windows Vista. Again, if you do not have administrator previliges you would get the below error.
Note that the service name is not the display name of a service. Each service is given a unique identification name which can be used with net or sc commands. For example, Remote procedure call (RPC) is the display name of the service. But the service name we need to use in the above commands is RpcSs.
So to start Remote procedure call service the command is:
These service names are listed below for each service. The first column shows the display name of a service and the second column shows the service name that should be used in net start or net stop or sc config commands.
start start
Запускает отдельное окно командной строки для запуска указанной программы или команды. Starts a separate Command Prompt window to run a specified program or command.

Комментарии Remarks
Вы можете запускать неисполняемые файлы с помощью сопоставления файлов, вводя имя файла в виде команды. You can run non-executable files through their file association by typing the name of the file as a command.
При выполнении команды, содержащей строку CMD в качестве первого маркера без квалификатора расширения или пути, команда CMD заменяется значением переменной COMSPEC. If you run a command that contains the string CMD as the first token without an extension or path qualifier, CMD is replaced with the value of the COMSPEC variable. Это не позволяет пользователям выбирать cmd из текущего каталога. This prevents users from picking up cmd from the current directory.
Если вы запускаете приложение с 32-битным графическим пользовательским интерфейсом (GUI), программа cmd не ждет завершения работы приложения, прежде чем вернуться в командную строку. If you run a 32-bit graphical user interface (GUI) application, cmd does not wait for the application to quit before returning to the command prompt. Такое поведение не происходит при запуске приложения из командного скрипта. This behavior does not occur if you run the application from a command script.
При выполнении команды, использующей первый токен, который не содержит расширение, Cmd.exe использует значение переменной среды ПАСЕКСТ, чтобы определить, какие расширения следует искать и в каком порядке. If you run a command that uses a first token that does not contain an extension, Cmd.exe uses the value of the PATHEXT environment variable to determine which extensions to look for and in what order. Значение по умолчанию для переменной ПАСЕКСТ: The default value for the PATHEXT variable is:
Обратите внимание, что синтаксис аналогичен переменной PATH с точкой с запятой (;) Отделение каждого расширения. Note that the syntax is the same as the PATH variable, with semicolons (;) separating each extension.
При поиске исполняемого файла, если нет совпадения с каким-либо расширением, запустите проверку, чтобы проверить, совпадает ли имя с именем каталога. When searching for an executable file, if there is no match on any extension, start checks to see if the name matches a directory name. Если это так, то Start открывает Explorer.exe по этому пути. If it does, start opens Explorer.exe on that path.

WinDbg Preview — Command line startup options
Starting WinDbg Preview
After WinDbg Preview is installed, WinDbgX.exe is available to run from any directory location.
Command line startup options
This following tables summarizes the available command line options.
General Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| -c «command» | Executes a command line after the debugger is attached. This command must be enclosed in quotation marks. Multiple commands can be separated with semicolons. |
| -v | Enables verbose output in the debugger. |
| -T Title | Sets the window title. |
| -logo LogFile | Log Open. Begins logging information to a log file. If the file exists, it will be overwritten. |
| -loga LogFile | Log Append. Begins logging information to a log file. If the file exists, it will be appended to. |
| -e EventHandle | Signals the event with the given handle after the next exception in a target. |
| -? | Displays a summary of commands available. |
Kernel Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| -k [ConnectType] | Starts a kernel debugging session. If -k is used without any ConnectType options following it, it must be the final entry on the command line. |
| -kqm | Starts KD in quiet mode. |
| -kl | Starts a kernel debugging session on the same machine as the debugger. |
| -kx ExdiOptions | Starts a kernel debugging session using an EXDI driver. |
