Difficulty: EasyWindows Administrative and System Management Tools

A desktop technician needs to configure a critical background service on a Windows 11 workstation so that it automatically restarts itself if the process unexpectedly terminates. Which Windows administrative utility should the technician use to configure these automated restart actions?

  1. Services (services.msc)Answer
  2. B
    Task Manager (taskmgr.exe)
  3. C
    Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc)
  4. D
    System Configuration (msconfig.exe)

Answer

Services (services.msc)
The Services console (services.msc) allows administrators to manage background services, including configuring automatic recovery policies on the Recovery tab (e.g., Restart the Service, Run a Program, or Restart the Computer) when a service unexpectedly fails.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the administrative tool responsible for managing background process properties and lifecycle rules.
Recognize that Windows services are managed through the Services console (services.msc).
Services properties control service startup types, user context credentials, and failure recovery responses.
2
Access the properties of the target service and locate the Recovery configuration settings.
Select 'Restart the Service' under the First failure and Second failure options on the Recovery tab.
The Recovery tab specifically configures automated actions taken by Windows when a service crashes.
