Why is Microsoft creating services like Defender's Sense that are Automatic Startup yet shutdown?
Why is Microsoft creating services like Defender's Sense that are Automatic Startup yet shutdown and are brought back up only when needed? Isn't that a Manual service by definition? It becomes difficult to manage system services when they alert because Automatic Services should always be running, be restarted quickly when they stop or fail, and create turmoil when alerting systems monitor Automatic services to ensure proper operation of a Windows OS.
Another is sppsvc (Software Protection Service), and sometimes MSI Installer is set to Automatic as well.
This is straightforward logic that Microsoft built and now ignores. Why?

- The property is startup type, not state all the time type. A service set to Automatic will start automatically with the system, this doesn't mean it can't exit if , for example, there is nothing for it to do.
