Question

Explain Windows services?

Answer 1

Windows services , earlier called as NT services, are applications which are installed over the system as system services. Or we can say, Windows services are the applications that run in the background with the Windows operating system. Primary use of Windows services is to decrease the consumption of the memory needed to perform backend operations. For example: you want to perform various functions, like observing the performance of  your computer or the application, check status of the application, and handle the various devices, like  printers etc.

In such case, you can use Windows services in order to reduce the consumption of memory. Moreover, Windows services may run on the system even if you have not logged on your computer. Also, these services do not have any user interface.
