Which Windows tool is commonly used to view and configure services and their startup types?

• A. Task Manager
• B. Microsoft Management Console
• C. Event Viewer
• D. Device Manager

Answer: (B)

Viewing and configuring Windows services, including their startup types, is done through the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) with the Services snap-in. MMC provides a centralized interface for administrative tools, and the Services snap-in lists every service along with its current status and startup type (Automatic, Manual, or Disabled). From there you can change a service’s startup type and start or stop the service as needed. You can access it by running services.msc or opening MMC and adding the Services snap-in. Other tools handle different tasks: Task Manager shows some service status but not full startup-type configuration, Event Viewer logs events, and Device Manager manages hardware drivers.
