Problem Starting Windows Service Automatically

[karthi84]

hi, i am new to windows services and i have created a windows service which works fine when i manually start and stop it. i have changed the property to start the service automatically. and i need the service to start at the time of machine logging in. but the service is not starting. help me with fixing this issue. and this service is not related to any software. what it does is when the service is started is saves a string to the event viewer. but its not automatically started even if its property is set to start automatically.

The Service will start when the Operating System starts, not when a user logs in. You could use a Scheduled Task to do that. Especially if the "Service" writes and then exits, that's not what services are for. Services normally start when the system starts, and run continuously until the system shuts down.

thanks for the reply. my problem is fixed. the problem was it was depending on a service which starts after this service starts. so i have fixed with this issue and once again thanks for your answer.
