In their own words
Corionis Service Manager.NET
Corionis Service Manager.NET (CSM) is a free Windows tray application for monitoring and managing Windows services chosen by the user. It can start or stop selected services and change their startup type. When a monitored service changes state, CSM displays a notification and logs it; file logging is optional. Users can reorder the service list by dragging items and edit the names displayed in the application. An optional updater can be set to check daily, weekly, or monthly. CSM installs for the current user, so each user on a system may have a separate copy. Monitoring works without administrator privileges, but service management controls are disabled unless those privileges are available. The maker says it was tested on Windows 7 through Windows Server 2016, supports 32-bit and 64-bit systems, and requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2. This version is a complete rewrite of the original, written in Microsoft C# and .NET. The release is MIT licensed and provided without warranty or guarantee. There is no restart button because the application cannot accurately determine when a service has finished shutting down and is safe to start again.
