You could do this-

in your coding before shutting down check the messagebox result

C#

DialogResult result = MessageBox.Show("Do you really want to shut down?",MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel,MessageBoxIcon.Question,MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button2);

if (result == DialogResult.Yes)
{
// Code for shutdown
}

Windows service in itself does not support any UI.
The best you can do is catch the stop event[^] of the service and then launch an exe that will display a message box.

However if the machine is already shutting down, the message box will be closed by the operating system anyway.

A better approach would be to handle WM_QUERYENDSESSION or WM_ENDSESSION on your own as described here[^]. You can do
