These drivers have to be started manually by calling a Win32 SCM application programming interface (API), such as the Services snap-in. 4: Disable: Specifies a disabled (not started) driver or service. 5: Delayed Start: Specifies that less-critical services will start shortly after startup to allow the operating system to be responsive to the.
Working with Services in PowerShell is probably one of the first tasks you’ll undertake as a PowerShell newbie. Recently I needed to disable a few Windows services on a server and I’m a big believer in being able to get back to where you started so the first thing I set out to accomplish was to find out what the start mode was of the services I needed to change.
My demo machine doesn’t have those particular services I referenced so the BITS service will be used for the demonstration in this scenario:
PowerShellSome Windows services can be triggered to start at certain events. These services have ‘Tigger Start’ in their startup name behind whatever you configured (like Manual). Powershell does not have a native method to register the type of event that triggers such a service, C and C# do.and Powershell can natively run C#. Basically, the Get-Service cmdlet with -ComputerName returns an object reference to the service in the question. And then pipe the result to Start-Service, Stop-Service, or Restart-Service to perform the respective actions. You can also throw in the Test-Connection cmdlet in the script to test the remote connection before querying the service. Numerical value to indicate if the service startup type has: 0 - no startup triggers 1 - has startup triggers This macro is supported since Zabbix 3.4.4. It is useful to discover such service startup types as Automatic (trigger start), Automatic delayed (trigger start) and Manual (trigger start). When a service is started in response to a trigger event, the service receives SERVICETRIGGERSTARTEDARGUMENT as argv in its ServiceMain callback function. Argv is always the short name of the service.
BITS|Select-Object-Property*As you can see in the previous results, there’s still isn’t a StartMode parameter. You can certainly change the StartMode of a service from within PowerShell with the Set-Service cmdlet, so why can’t you check to see what the StartMode is from within PowerShell?
It can be done in WMI and PowerShell has cmdlets for accessing WMI. It’s not really PowerShell’s fault that it doesn’t natively display the StartMode property though. You see, PowerShell runs on the .Net Framework and the Get-Service cmdlet returns the same properties as the underlying .Net Framework class which that cmdlet uses:

I’m now going to change the StartMode for the BITS service to Automatic:
