Process Management page: Device Services page

Use the Device Services page on the Process Management page to view, start, stop, pause, and resume device services on managed systems running Windows®. Device services are the noninteractive programs that enable high-level applications to perform various functions. For example, I/O drivers running on a system serve as support programs for application suites that perform word processing, database, and print functions. Each row of information represents a service.
