where-object: Get a list of all services that are currently stopped. The `$_` automatic variable represents each object that is passed to the `Where-Object` cmdlet.
$ Get-Service | Where-Object {$_.Status -eq "Stopped"}
try on your machine
The command Get-Service retrieves a list of all services running on a Windows computer.
The | (pipe) symbol is used to pass the output of the Get-Service command to the next command.
The Where-Object cmdlet allows you to filter the output based on a specified condition. In this case, the condition is {$_Status -eq "Stopped"}. The $_ represents the current object being processed (in this case, each service from the previous command), and Status is a property of the service object.
So, the Where-Object command filters the list of services from Get-Service and returns only those services that have a status equal to "Stopped".

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
