What is a Service?

A service is a program or process used by a system to perform specified system functions. Its function is to support other applications, generally running in the background. The program does not have program windows or dialog boxes compared to the programs that the user runs, and they can only be observed in the Task Manager.

How do I change the startup type of a service?

In the "Search Programs and Files" column of the Win 7 Start menu, type "services.msc" or "Services" to search for the "Services" item. After clicking, you can open the Service Management List window. Double-click on any service to view or modify its properties. In the Properties window, you can modify the startup type to "Manual", "Automatic", "Automatic (Delayed Start)" or "Disabled" (as shown in Figure 1). .

What is the difference between "automatic" and "automatic (delayed start)"?

"Automatic" startup means that the service item is loaded at the same time as the computer starts up to support other programs running on top of this service. And "automatic (delayed start)" is a very user-friendly design in Win 7. Starting in this way, you can delay the startup of the service item after the system is started for a period of time. It can solve the problem that some low-configuration computers are slow to start or slow to respond after startup because of too many service items.

What is the difference between "manual" and "disabled"?

When the service startup status is "manual", the process can be activated in certain situations although it is closed, but after the setting is "disabled", the service will not be able to be executed unless the user manually modifies the attribute. run.

Which services need to be manually started?

"Manual" mode, as the name implies, is that this service will not be loaded with the system startup, but after other services are activated or the user enters the service management interface, manually start it or modify its properties to "Automatic". "start up.

This mode is often used when you need to enable some functions that are not turned on. Take the "Application Identity" service as an example. By default, the service is in the "manual" state, that is, it is not started. However, when users need to use the AppLocker function, they must manually enable this service (modified to "automatic" state), otherwise the AppLocker function will not work.

What should I pay attention to before modifying?

Modifying the system service may cause some unexpected problems, so it is best to back up the default service status before modifying. To open the service management window, click “Operation→Export List” and select “Save as Type” as TXT text file or CSV file. It is recommended to select the latter. This file can be opened by Excel.

In addition, if there is a situation in which the system cannot be entered normally due to a modification error, you can press F8 to select the safe mode and the service startup property in the safe mode.
