How to display the count of running processes through powershell script - powershell

Question

Just trying to find out how do we get the count of running services through powershell script. I know Get-Service will give us list of all the processes on the system and (Get-Service). Count will give the count. But question is how do we find the count of only Running Services in the system? I simplified the filter criteria to get the list of only running services which is Get-Service | Where-Object {$_.Status -eq "Running"} BUT NO LUCK WITH THE COUNT OF THOSE SERVICES.

Answer 1

TL;DR
(Get-Service | Where-Object Status -eq "Running").Count
Have you heard of the Get-Member CmdLet?
If not; get reading up on it here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.utility/get-member?view=powershell-6
Gets the properties and methods of objects.
I find this one of the most useful commands in situations similar to this. Get used to using it as it will come in very handy!
How does that help you? Well...
Get-Service | Get-Member
Returns:

Isn't that cool?!
Take a quick look at the properties available (Get-Service | Get-Member -MemberType Property) - spot anything useful?
(Get-Service | Where-Object Status -eq "Running").Count
