Windows service automatic

Tom
Hi

I've created a windows service and it is set to run under local system
account. But after its installed and after reboot when I check in the
services its still sitting there and have not automatically started ?
but next to it the start mode does say 'automatic' instead of manual.

so how I get it to start after every reboot ?

Thanks
Tom

Never had this problem with any Windows service I've written.
Check whether you have a bug in the service's startup code that is causing a
crash, perhaps?

I know it's been a while but I had a hard time with this one myself...
You can find some suggestions on the net that it may have something to do
with service dependencies, especially with the Eventlog service. In my case
problem was all about NET performance during system startup. You have to
create (or modify existing) registry DWORD value "ServicesPipeTi meout" in
"HKEY_LOCAL_MAC HINE\SYSTEM\Cur rentControlSet\ Control" - I set it to 60000
(in miliseconds) and my service autostarts fine. Infuriatingly simple:-/

Hi,

I remember that thread, but never understood what happens.
I will start writing a service in the near future and thanks for
that good pointer!!!

I created an extremely simple windows service that only writes to the EventLogs on Stop and Pause. I installed it using the InstallUtil.exe program, the output of which is below.

The output for NET START is below as well. The Services list in the W2K administrator...

Hi Is there any way can we start the windows service after installation without the need for starting the service manually. I have StartType property set to "Automatic" for the service, but that helps only when we restart the machine. I want the service to kick in, right after installation without starting the service manually. Any help is greatly appreciated.. thanks in advance.

OK, I created my handy little windows service and created an MSI installer using the Deployment tool in VS.net with Custom Actions according to the msdn help. Worked great, with one little hitch. The Service is installed and marked for Automatic startup, but the service is not starting with windows. If i reboot and then check the services, the service shows as Stopped, but still marked Automatic. Any idea?

All, Have any of you seen a thread created and Thread.Start() called without error, but then the thread is seemingly never actually started?

Each instance of this particular class needs to run in its own thread (though right now there is only one instance under consideration). So, the constructor is coded as given below:

What would be a good way to check programmatically whether a service was running? We have a service that dies periodically and I need to check to see if this service is running. I know how to check to see if the status is in stopped or running mode. But that doesn't tell me if it is actually running. I need to know this so that if it happens I can programmatically start the same service on another machine.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
