The Windows Management Service (WManSvc) is a core system service that facilitates remote management and configuration of Windows devices using protocols like Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) and PowerShell remoting. It enables IT administrators to execute scripts, monitor system health, and deploy policies across networks, making it essential for enterprise environments and automated system management.
