The Service Maintenance Action allows you to automate Windows service installing and uninstalling. It also supports the same operations for kernel and filesystem drivers.
For especially designed services (CRMs, databases, business apps), it is possible to send custom control codes (custom commands). Refer to documentation of a particular service about which codes it can accept.

|---|---|
| Service | Select a service to install, uninstall, or control. Choose it from the list, or type a service name, or use a variable. Kernel and filesystem drivers are also supported:
|
| Executable | Provide a full path with a name of executable when installing a service or driver. |
| Service info | Shows the current status of a service, for example:
The tooltip displays extended service information in real-time. |

Note
The uninstalled service does not automatically disappear from Windows, if the service is running. It disappears when it is stopped and all apps that are using the service are closed.
