You can open the Windows services from the command line instead of clicking around. Below are several I find most useful for my work. Your mileage may vary.
Services
Be sure to start services from an admin prompt if necessary. Note that you can generally ignore typing the “.msc” extension. For instance, typing “eventvwr” or “services” will start the apps.
| certlm.msc | Certificates for Local Computer |
| certmgr.msc | Certificates for current user |
| compmgmt.msc | The Compmgmt.msc management console combines multiple management consoles into a single interface that can be used to manage all components of the computer. It includes the Task Scheduler, Event Viewer, Device Manager, Disk Management, Services Management Console, and others. |
| devmgmt.msc | Device Manager |
| diskmgmt.msc | Disk Management |
| eventvwr.msc | Event Viewer |
| fsmgmt.msc | Shared Folders |
| gpedit.msc | Local Group Policy Editor |
| lusrmgr.msc | Local Users and Groups |
| perfmon.msc | Performance Monitor |
