I'm in the middle of taming a new machine.

In the course of that I've installed a handful of things which add services... but I've also disabled a large number of M$ crapware/intrusionware/irrelevant services.

Is there any way of producing a report of what you see in the "Services" dialog...? In the form of a PDF or .xls file or something? The only thing I can think of doing at the moment is a screenshot! But surely there must be a data table of some kind buried deep in the bowels of W10 ...

In a more general sense, I'm wondering if it's possible to produce reports on all/most of the configuration settings of W10? This could come in useful for all sorts of Sys Admin type purposes.

Yes.

In a cmd shell, run the following sc command:

sc query state= all

To save the output in a file:

sc query state= all > sevice_report.txt

Example output:

SERVICE_NAME: !SASCORE
DISPLAY_NAME: SAS Core Service
        TYPE               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS  
        STATE              : 4  RUNNING 
                                (STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
        WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 0  (0x0)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
        CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x0

SERVICE_NAME: ACDaemon
DISPLAY_NAME: ArcSoft Connect Daemon
        TYPE               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS

        WIN32_EXIT_CODE    : 1077  (0x435)
        SERVICE_EXIT_CODE  : 0  (0x0)
        CHECKPOINT         : 0x0
        WAIT_HINT          : 0x0

SERVICE_NAME: AdobeARMservice
DISPLAY_NAME: Adobe Acrobat Update Service
        TYPE               : 10  WIN32_OWN_PROCESS

Check out the Powershell get-service commandlet. It's output can of course be piped to a text file.
