Service startup types

The service startup type determines how a process is run:

• Auto

  Specifies that a service starts automatically with the operating system at each system startup. If an automatically-started service depends on a manual service, that service is also started automatically.

• Manual

  Specifies that a service is only started manually by a user through the Windows Service Control Manager, or by an application.

• Disabled

  Indicates that the service has been disabled and cannot be started by a user or application, unless its startup type is changed to manual or auto.

• Set All to Auto

  Specifies that the selected services start automatically with the operating system at each system startup. If an automatically-started service depends on a manual service, that service is also started automatically.

• Set All to Manual

  Specifies that the selected services are only started manually by a user through the Windows Service Control Manager, or by an application.

• Set All to Disabled

  Indicates that selected services have been disabled and cannot be started by a user or application, unless its startup type is changed to manual or auto.
