At some point, we will need to stop, start or restart the WSUS service either due to a problem or to perform a WSUS management task.

In this case, PowerShell can help us as we can very easily start, stop and restart WSUS service. Oh, this can also be done using the command prompt.

First, to see the status of the WSUS service.
