• 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.
