Services.exe is a process that acts as a host to service dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). Services.exe provides enhanced loading capabilities, such as support for starting, pausing, and stopping services. In addition to hosting services and providing enhanced loading capabilities, Services.exe can also be configured to wait on connection.

Note

Services.exe helps prevent a device failure resulting from a service crash, but it does not prevent a resulting crash in another unrelated service. All services should be properly debugged prior to deployment.
