Start-Service cmdlet start a service by sending a start message to the windows service controller. You can use parameters like ‘name’,’displayname’ or ‘inputobject’ to pass the service name to Start-Service cmdlet. If the service is already running, service controller ignores the start message. You need to have permission to manage windows service to use Start-Service cmdlet.
