I am trying to start Parental Controls (WPCsvc) service using powershell. I can do this from console (services.msc) but powershell throws following error:
PS C:\Users\Lucky> Get-Service | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq 'wpcsvc'} | Start-Service
Start-Service : Service 'Parental Controls (WPCSvc)' cannot be started due to the following error: Cannot open WPCSvc service on computer '.'.
At line:1 char:67
+ Get-Service | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq 'wpcsvc'} | Start-Service <<<<
+ CategoryInfo : OpenError: (System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController:ServiceController) [Start-Service],
ServiceCommandException

PS C:\Users\Lucky> Get-Service | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq "wpcsvc"} | Start-Service
