Check your associations. E.g. open a cmd window and enter:
assoc | find /i "msc"
When I do that I see:
.msc=MSCFile
So then enter:
ftype | find /i "MSCFile"
That returns:
MSCFile=%SystemRoot%\system32\mmc.exe "%1" %*
So that would be your clue to try to Run...
mmc.exe
With it you could press Ctrl-o and drill down to that services.msc
file you found. See if that works any better for you.
Alternatively, you could do some of your checking and control
also from the command line, using commands such as sc.exe and
net.exe. The service names in that case would be wuauserv and
bits.
