### Let's show this in an example with the unquoted service binary path **C:\Program Files\My Program\My Service\service.exe**### . When Windows starts the service, it will use the following order to try to start the executable file due to the spaces in the path.
`C:\Program.exe
C:\Program Files\My.exe
C:\Program Files\My Program\My.exe
C:\Program Files\My Program\My service\service.exe
`*Listing 66 - Example of how Windows will try to locate the correct path of an unquoted service*

Get-CimInstance -ClassName win32_service | Select Name,State,PathName

wmic service get name,pathname |  findstr /i /v "C:\Windows\\" | findstr /i /v """
