Regarding if to use WCF Services or Web Service, I'd choose WCF mainly because it's
'more advanced' than Web Service. For a short comparisons, have a look at
- What's the Difference between WCF and Web Services?[^]
- Comparing ASP.NET Web Services to WCF Based on Development | Microsoft Docs[^]

WCF services are indeed confusing, maybe it's easier to use SignalR, see: SignalR | The ASP.NET Site[^]
Here is a CodeProject article to get you started: Implementing SignalR in Desktop Applications[^]
