System Export List of Running and Stopped Services in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to export a list of all running and/or stopped services in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Services are an application type that runs in the system background without a user interface. Services provide core operating system features (such as printing, networking, remote access, File Explorer, Windows Search, updates, etc.) and apps to operate as intended.

The exported list will show you the StartType (ex: Automatic, Manual, Disabled), Status (stopped or running), Name, and DisplayName of each service.

You can export the list of running and stopped services to either a TXT file, CSV file, or show in the terminal window.
