set-service: Change the description of a service.

Set-Service

$ Set-Service -Name ${service_name} -Description "${description}"

try on your machine

The command Set-Service -Name ${service_name} -Description "${description}" is used in PowerShell to modify the description of a service.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

Set-Service: This is the cmdlet (command-let) used to modify the settings of a Windows service.
-Name: This parameter is used to specify the name of the service being modified. ${service_name} is a placeholder representing the actual name of the service being targeted. You need to replace ${service_name} with the actual name of the service, for example, SomeService.
-Description: This parameter allows you to set the description of the service. "${description}" is a placeholder representing the actual description you want to set for the service. You should replace ${description} with the desired description, enclosed in double quotes.

So, if you wanted to change the description of a service called "SomeService" to "This is a sample service", you would use the following command:

Set-Service -Name SomeService -Description "This is a sample service"
