The Services console is the correct location to adjust properties of system services in Windows operating systems. It allows users to start, stop, pause, resume, and disable services, as well as modify their startup type (automatic, manual, or disabled). The 'Device Manager' is used for managing hardware device drivers, 'Task Scheduler' is used to schedule automated tasks to run at specific times or events, and 'Programs and Features' allows you to uninstall or change installed software but does not manage system services.
