I would be interested to understand what you need to attach and use Powershell for that cannot be done via code stages which exposes the entire .NET framework?

It is a permissions issue, you cannot send events to an application that has higher permissions than yours. Stopping/Starting services usually requires administrative privs, however you can use the SubInACL utility from Microsoft to add regular user accounts who can start and stop specific services. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23510 Here's the code you would need to start/stop a service within a code stage for Blue Prism: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa331793%28v=VS.71%29.aspx
