title: "Automatic" vs "Automatic (Delayed start)"
body: <p>When installing Windows services there are two options for automatically starting a Windows service on Windows startup. One is <em>Automatic</em>, and the other is <em>Automatic (Delayed start)</em>. What is the difference between these two in detail?</p>
  
  <p>For example, if you're creating the installer with wixtoolset, the <code>ServiceConfig</code> element has the <code>DelayedAutoStart</code> attribute. How will that effect what happens when services are started at boot time?</p>
