Windows 7 'netsh reset' without rebooting?

Frequently we are required to reboot after installs or commands because specific services have to start or restart. Is there some service I can restart to avoid rebooting the whole PC after "netsh reset"?

One of my users' Pulse Secure breaks often and rebooting fixes it sometimes, and sometimes it requires commands like "netsh reset" which require another reboot. Reboots take 15 min because of other stuff loading.

Solution 1:

You could run the below as a batch script after running the NETSH commands to restart applicable services which may be affected by such a change.

You'll obviously want to test these services and confirm that it works for your need before running in production and to also potentially narrow down the number of services that actually need restarted with the specific commands you are using.

The source location has the full batch file you can download as well that also has other commands it runs to reset the network settings on Windows 7.
