At times you may need to open and manage your Windows Services. You may want to stop some service, start it, disable the service, delay its start up or resume or pause the Windows Service. At such time, the Services Manager, which is a built-in tool in the Windows operating system, will help you. This post will show you how to open your Windows Services, using Services Manager as well as the Command Prompt.
To learn how to enable IIS and the required IIS components on Windows 8/8.1, see the instructions below. Open Control Panel and click Programs and Features Turn Windows features on or off. Enable Internet Information Services.
Windows Services are applications that typically start when the computer is booted and run quietly in the background until it is shut down.

Types of Windows Services startup
Windows 10 offers four start-ups types:
- Automatic
- Automatic (Delayed Start)

Start, stop, disable Windows Services
To start, stop, pause, resume or restart any Windows Service, select the Service and right-click on it. You will be offered these options.
If you wish to manage more options, double-click on the Service to open its Properties box.
Here under the Startup type drop-down menu, you will be able to select the startup type for the Service.

It is recommended that you not change the default settings unless you know what you are doing, as this can cause some parts of your operating system to stop working. When you stop, start, or restart a service, any dependent services are also affected, so you want to be careful here.

IIS or Internet Information Services is a technology included in Windows Server, which provides a security-enhanced, easy-to-manage web server for developing and reliably hosting web applications and web services. This enables organizations to deliver rich, web-based experiences. IIS is not turned on by default on the Windows desktop editions. You have to turn it on.
Let us see now how to enable or turn on Internet Information Services on Windows 8. The procedure remains the same as it was in earlier editions.
Turn On IIS or Internet Information Services on Windows 8
Press Win+R key in combination to bring up the ‘Run’ dialog box. In it, type ‘appwiz.cpl’ and hit the ‘OK’ button.
You will be directed to ‘Programs and Feature’ screen of the ‘Control Panel’. There, in the left pane you will find a link to Turn Windows features on/off. Click on that link.
Now, a new ‘Windows Features’ screen should be visible to you. Scroll and search for the Internet Information Services option and select its check box, to turn on the feature.
At this point you can leave settings as default and say OK, but you can certainly expand it and check the other components as well, if you are interested in selecting all or deselecting some.
Once you have configured the desired options as well, hit the ‘OK’ button and wait patiently for few minutes to allow Windows Features to search for required files, install them and apply the changes.
That is all. You will have now successfully installed the new version of IIS Internet Information Services on Windows 8, you will see a new localhost start page. Check out the screen-shot of below.
