 Windows Service Startup Type:

In Microsoft Windows, Windows services can be configured with different startup types that determine how and when they are started:

  • Automatic: The service starts automatically when Windows boots.
  • Automatic (Delayed Start): The service starts automatically after the system has finished booting and initial services have started, helping improve startup performance.
  • Manual: The service does not start automatically. It must be started by a user or another process when needed.
  • Manual (Trigger Start): The service starts manually or in response to specific system events (triggers), such as device insertion or network changes.
  • Disabled: The service is prevented from starting, even if required by the system or an application.
