There is simply no need to start or stop them regularly. This is true for most services but it could come in handy to be able to quickly start or stop selected services and Multi Service Controller is providing the means for it.

The application sits quietly in the Windows System Tray. A right-click opens a menu that is showing the configured services that the user has added during configuration. Each of these services can be started, stopped or reset depending on its current state.

One application for this could be to enable the required services to use the Microsoft Windows Updates service. The services that appear after right-clicking the System Tray icon have to be selected at the beginning.

It’s possible to add selected services only or even all if that is desired. This would give access to all services in the System Tray. Services can also be reset to their default values which is another option offered by the program.
