I've only got a couple of suggested further tweaks:

(Is that "Most" strictly necessary? What are the exceptions?)

"The ... list ... were" is awkward number-agreement; drop "list of".
Then eliding the second "it" in "Please check it and correct it" is
a bit dodgy too, and needs changing anyway once we've thrown out the
"list" that the pronoun refers back to. How about:
The following services were detected as currently running and needing a
restart. Please check the list and correct it if needed. Services
I notice that here and in the original there's some inconsistency in
inter-sentence spacing.
