Service+

What Service+ is

Service+ is a graphical console for administering Windows services. It can start, stop, or pause several services at once, change settings such as startup, account, dependencies, name, and path, and terminate a nonresponsive service process without rebooting. Administrators can set access controls that let authenticated users start services while preventing users, including administrators, from stopping critical services. Service configurations can be imported or exported as XML for duplication, backup, or mirroring across computers. The console also manages services on remote computers and can attach a debugger to a service process in one click. Service+ is freeware for Windows, and its listed requirements include Windows NT 4 through Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025. Plan details specify Windows only and x86/x64 support through version 4.5.60. The application is native Unicode software available in English and French. The download page says it is provided without transmission of personal data. Active+ offers documentation, an FAQ, and a support form.
