In this blog post, we will discuss Stop-Service cmdlet in PowerShell. You can use Stop-Service cmdlet to stop windows services. Stop-Service cmdlet stops a service by sending a stop message to the windows service controller. You can use parameters like ‘name’,’displayname’ or ‘inputobject’ to pass the service name to Stop-Service cmdlet. You need to have permission to manage windows service to use Stop-Service cmdlet.
