Summary

Users may be surprised when they specify the name of a device driver service and it gets returned, but otherwise doesn't get returned.

Details

No response

Suggested Fix

Add language around:

  • Enumeration does NOT include device driver services
  • When wild card is specified, the cmdlet performs filtering ONLY on Windows services (device services are NOT included)
  • If you specify the name which is an exact device service name or exact display name, then that instance will be returned
