    Hello,I have noticed recently that every time I boot up my PC, two services named sqlservr and sqlwriter are already running before I have even opened anything.Here is a screenshot of the services:It just seems a little suspicious to me that a service like SQL runs without me initiating them by opening something that causes them to run in the background. I use a program called Process Hacker 2 as my task manager, and there's no reason that this program should run those services, it's also a little suspicious that every time I log in after booting up that command prompt opens for 10-15 seconds

    :)

    Windows Service not running at computer startup / restart.

    @Samurai - Thanks for the suggestion, but how does this recommendaiton work with an already existing service? Because the service is already listed in the services list, it just refuses to start when set to "Automatic" when I startup or restart the computer. By the looks of the "runaservice" download, it will create a whole new service in the services list, as if I don't currently have one.
