| Required Dependencies: Get-Service | |
| Optional Dependencies: SCHTASKS | |
| PS cmdlet Dev version: v1.0.8 | |
| .DESCRIPTION | |
| This cmdlet Stops|Disables W10|11 WpcMonSvc service, process, tasks | |

| .NOTES | |
| Instructions how to execute Invoke-WpcMonSvc.ps1 | |
| 1 - Modify powershell ExecutionPolicy to execute Invoke-WpcMonSvc.ps1 | |
| echo Y|powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy UnRestricted -Scope CurrentUser | |
| 2 - Open folder where Invoke-WpcMonSvc.ps1 is located and in that folder | |
| press the follow keyboard keys: press ALT+F + press S + press A | |
| 3 - Check 'WpcMonSvc' service|processes|tasks without changing settings | |
| .\Invoke-WpcMonSvc.ps1 -name 'WpcMonSvc' -check -tasks -process | |
| 4 - Stop 'WpcMonSvc' service|tasks|process and config service startup to 'Manual' | |
| .\Invoke-WpcMonSvc.ps1 -name 'WpcMonSvc' -status 'Stopped' -StartType 'Manual' -tasks -process | |
| Parameter -status 'Stopped' -> Stop sellected service | |
| Parameter -status 'Running' -> Start sellected service | |
| Parameter -StartType 'Disabled' -> prevents the service to run in the system startup | |
| Parameter -StartType 'Manual' -> The service only runs if called by user manually | |
| Parameter -StartType 'Automatic' -> Config the service to run in the system startup | |
| NOTE: To config the service 'WpcMonSvc' to is default state execute: | |
| .\Invoke-WpcMonSvc.ps1 -name 'WpcMonSvc' -status 'Running' -StartType 'Automatic' -tasks -process | |
| .Parameter Name | |
| The service name we want to stop or start (default: WpcMonSvc) | |
| .Parameter Status | |
| Service status settings 'Running' ou 'Stopped' (default: Stopped) | |
| .Parameter StartType | |
| Service startup settings 'Automatic','Manual,'Disabled' (default: Manual) | |
| .Parameter Check | |
| Switch to display service state or service|tasks|process state [WpcMonSvc] | |
| .Parameter Tasks | |
| Switch that Enable|Disable 'WpcMonSvc' related schedule tasks [FamilySafety] | |
| .Parameter Process | |
| Switch that STARTS|STOPS WpcMon.exe process related to WpcMonSvc service | |
| .Parameter Filter | |
| Search for matching strings within -check function outputs | |
| .EXAMPLE | |
| PS C:\> .\Invoke-WpcMonSvc.ps1 -check -name 'WpcMonSvc' | |
| Check service 'WpcMonSvc' state without change anything | |
| .EXAMPLE | |
| PS C:\> .\Invoke-WpcMonSvc.ps1 -check -name '*' | |
| Check ALL services state without change anything | |
| .EXAMPLE | |
| PS C:\> .\Invoke-WpcMonSvc.ps1 -check -name '*' -filter "Automatic" | |
| Check ALL services with 'Automatic' string without change anything | |
| .EXAMPLE | |
| PS C:\> .\Invoke-WpcMonSvc.ps1 -name 'WpcMonSvc' -check -tasks -process | |
| Check 'WpcMonSvc' Service|Tasks|Process state without changing settings | |
| .EXAMPLE | |
| PS C:\> .\Invoke-WpcMonSvc.ps1 -name 'WpcMonSvc' -status 'stopped' -StartType 'manual' | |
| Config service 'WpcMonSvc' to status 'stopped' with startup execution set to 'manual' | |
| .EXAMPLE | |
| PS C:\> .\Invoke-WpcMonSvc.ps1 -name 'WpcMonSvc' -status 'Stopped' -StartType 'disabled' | |
| Config service 'WpcMonSvc' to status 'stopped' with startup execution set to 'disabled' | |
| .EXAMPLE | |
| PS C:\> .\Invoke-WpcMonSvc.ps1 -name 'WpcMonSvc' -status 'Running' -StartType 'automatic' | |
| Config service 'WpcMonSvc' to status 'running' with startup execution set to 'automatic' | |
| .EXAMPLE | |
| PS C:\> .\Invoke-WpcMonSvc.ps1 -name 'WpcMonSvc' -status 'Running' -StartType 'manual' | |
| Config service 'WpcMonSvc' to status 'running' with startup execution set to 'manual' | |
| .EXAMPLE | |
| PS C:\> .\Invoke-WpcMonSvc.ps1 -name 'WpcMonSvc' -status 'Stopped' -StartType 'manual' -tasks | |
| Config 'WpcMonSvc' to 'Stopped' with startup set to 'manual' and disable 'FamilySafety' tasks | |
| .EXAMPLE | |
| PS C:\> .\Invoke-WpcMonSvc.ps1 -name 'WpcMonSvc' -status 'Stopped' -StartType 'manual' -tasks -process | |
| Config WpcMonSvc to 'Stopped' + startup set to 'manual' + disable 'FamilySafety' tasks + stop WpcMon.exe process | |
| .INPUTS | |
| None. You cannot pipe objects into Invoke-WpcMonSvc.ps1 | |
