1. [Services: \`Get-Service\` and \`Restart-Service\`](https://www.ask-codey.com/lessons/powershell-services) (Journeyman): A service is a program Windows runs with no window, such as the Print Spooler: Get-Service shows each one's Status and, with Select-Object, its StartType, all without changing anything, while Restart-Service, Stop-Service, Start-Service and Set-Service change them and need an administrator window, after a rehearsal with -WhatIf.
