Windows Service in C# | How to create, install, and use a service

In this video, we are going to look at how to create a Windows Service in C#, how to run and how to install it.

Windows service is a computer program that runs in the background to execute some tasks. Some examples of Windows services are auto update of Windows, check emails, print documents, SQL Server agent, file and folder scanning and indexing and so on. If you open your Task Manager and click on Services tab, you will see hundreds of services running on your machine. You can also see the statuses of these services. Some services are running, some have paused, and some have stopped. You can start, stop, and pause a service by right click on the service.
