Alternative to the Windows Service Manager (services.msc) which supports filtering out signed Microsoft executables?

9

Is there a Service Manager for Windows which allows me to easily filter out all the Microsoft services with verified signatures?

I've looked at Turbo Services Manager but it doesn't have this feature.

MSConfig has similar feature but I'm not sure if it checks for digital signature – VarunAgw – 2015-07-30T14:36:17.147

Sysinternals Autoruns has a tab that lists installed services, and can both verify digital signatures and filter out Microsoft services. It's not as "nice" as services.msc, but it will do the job.

Tip: Turn off the Microsoft filter so you can see all the services – GuidedHacking – 2020-02-19T03:01:03.250

You can also try Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line (WMIC) tool, using the command:

cmd.exe wmic service

This will return you a list of installed services. If you use a pipe to a txt file you can import it on MS Excel and make all filters that you want.
