What Service+ is
Service+ is a graphical console for administering Windows services. It can start, stop or pause multiple services together and edit service settings such as startup, account, dependencies, name and path. For a service that stops responding, the tool can terminate its process without rebooting. Administrators can allow authenticated users to start services while preventing users, including administrators, from stopping critical services. Service configurations can be imported and exported as XML to duplicate, back up or mirror them across computers. The console also manages services on remote computers and can attach a debugger to a service process in one click. It is freeware for Windows. Listed requirements span Windows NT 4 through Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025, while the plan information specifies Windows only and x86/x64 support through version 4.5.60. Service+ is a native Unicode application available in English and French. Active+ provides documentation, an FAQ and a support form.
