The Win32_Service class represents a service on a Win32 computer system. A service application conforms to the interface rules of the Service Control Manager (SCM) and can be started by a user automatically at system boot through the Services control panel utility, or by an application that uses the service functions included in the Win32 API. Services can execute even when no user is logged on to the system.
