This partially reverts 905f5f4. The part about sc was messed up a little bit. This command has all these subcommands (start, stop, create, delete) and many others, in fact. And there's no need to use the .exe file extension in the command name.

I tested this on a spare laptop. It seems that sc and sc.exe are two different commands. I'm not a windows user so I don't really know the difference

What made you think they're different?

What Windows version did you try?

[Managor]

Windows 10. I ran sc and sc.exe by themselves and they produced different output

Do you run it in powershell or cmd session?

Can you post the output of the following (in cmd)?

where sc
where sc.exe

This seems to be a powershell thing. In cmd the commands are the same.

I'll leave this up to people who know more about windows to decide.

OK, I figured it out. There's an utility sc.exe which manages windows services (doc-sc) and there's an alias to the Set-Content cmdlet in Powershell (doc-5.1). At least it exists in Powershell 5.1, cannot check the newer versions of Powershell. Documentation for the newer version doesn't mention this alias (doc-7.5).

It looks like this powershell alias has been removed in recent versions: https://github.com/iridacea/test-win/actions/runs/18480749589/job/52654780128
