HI Bill i have tried the below

action parameter query "ServiceName" with description "Please enter the service you would like to start:" With default "<Enter Service Name>"

continue if {exists service whose (service name of it as lowercase = (parameter "ServiceName" of action as lowercase) OR (display name of it as lowercase = (parameter "ServiceName" of action as lowercase)) AND start type of it as lowercase contains "disabled")}
delete __appendfile 
delete netquiet.bat 

appendfile @ECHO OFF 
appendfile start "" /min /b net %1 %2 /y > NUL 2> NUL 
move __appendfile netquiet.bat 

waithidden "{pathname of client folder of site "BESSupport" & "\RunQuiet.exe"}" netquiet.bat start "{parameter "ServiceName" of action}"

delete netquiet.bat

action parameter query "ServiceName" with description "Please enter the service you would like to start:" With default "<Enter Service Name>"

Some notes to get you started:

  1. You don’t need netquiet or runquiet.exe
  2. We can remove the Batch script too
  3. Always stick with super simple continue if relevance

Try this (I have not tested this so take a look!):

action parameter query "ServiceName" with description "Please enter the service you would like to start:" With default "<Enter Service Name>"

continue if {exists service (parameter "ServiceName" of action)}
continue if {start type of service (parameter "ServiceName" of action) = "disabled" or state of service (parameter "ServiceName" of action) != "Running"}

wait net start "{parameter "ServiceName" of action}"
wait sc config "{parameter "ServiceName" of action}" start= auto
