Controlling Server Startup Behavior on Windows v12

You can use the Windows Services utility to control the startup behavior of the server. Right click on the name of the service you wish to update, and select Properties from the context menu to open the Properties dialog.

Use the drop-down listbox in the Startup type field to specify how the Advanced Server service will behave when the host starts.

  • Specify Automatic (Delayed Start) to instruct the service controller to start after boot.
  • Specify Automatic to instruct the service controller to start and stop the server whenever the system starts or stops.
  • Specify Manual to instruct the service controller that the server must be started manually.
  • Specify Disabled to instruct the service controller to disable the service; after disabling the service, you must stop the service or restart the server to make the change take effect. Once disabled, the server’s status cannot be changed until Startup type is reset to Automatic (Delayed Start), Automatic, or Manual.
