start-service:tldr:5f207

start-service: Start a disabled service.
$ Set-Service ${service_name} -StartupType ${manual}; Start-Service ${service_name}
try on your machine

This command is a PowerShell command used to set the startup type of a service and then start that service.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  1. Set-Service: This is the cmdlet used to modify the properties of a service in Windows.

  2. ${service_name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the service you want to modify and start. You need to replace "${service_name}" with the actual name of the service.

  3. -StartupType: This is the parameter that is used to set the startup type of the service. In this command, "${manual}" is used as a placeholder for the startup type. You need to replace "${manual}" with the desired startup type. Startup types can be Automatic, Manual, or Disabled.

  4. Start-Service: This is the cmdlet used to start a service in Windows.

So, the command first sets the startup type of a service to the specified value (in this case, "${manual}"), and then it starts the service specified by "${service_name}".

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
