Need to see every currently running service on a machine - for a quick system health check, troubleshooting, or auditing what's actively consuming resources? This one-liner filters the full service list down to just the active ones.

Prerequisites:

- Privileges: None
- Module: Built-in, no import needed

Quick Command:

```PowerShell
Get-Service | Where-Object { $_.Status -eq "Running" }
```

Example Output:

```PowerShell
Status   Name               DisplayName
------   ----               -----------
Running  AdobeARMservice    Adobe Acrobat Update Service
Running  AppXSvc            AppX Deployment Service (AppXSVC)
Running  AudioEndpointBu…   Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
Running  Audiosrv           Windows Audio
Running  BFE                Base Filtering Engine
```

How It Works:

- Get-Service returns every service on the system, regardless of its current state (running, stopped, paused).
- Where-Object { $.Status -eq "Running" } filters that list down to only the services whose Status property equals "Running" - $ refers to each service as it's checked, one at a time.
- Everything not matching Running (stopped, paused, or otherwise) gets filtered out, leaving only active services in the output.
