Services are an essential part of the Windows system and you can tweak almost all the services according to your need. But, suppose you have tweaked some services and you want to reset them all back to normal, and looking for a way to do it. Don’t worry. There are several ways to do it, and here we have listed all the possible ways you can achieve this.
Different startup types of a Service on your system –
There are four distinct types of startup types a Service can be set to. You should know in detail what each startup type denotes.
Automatic – Service starts up with the system startup. Usually, if a large number is set to Automatic mode, it may increase the system boot time. All the essential services should be set to automatic mode.
Automatic (Delayed Start) – The service will start after the time system starts. This way, the service can start automatically without impacting the system boot time.
Manual – Windows can start the service on a requirement basis. If you think a service is not essential, you can set it to Automatic.
Disabled – These services are, as the name suggests, disabled on your computer.

All of these services may not be present on your system.
How to change the startup types of a Service
Now, let’s have look at how you can easily modify individual services on your Windows device.
1. Open a Run box using the Windows key+R keys together.
2. Then, type this in the box and hit Enter.
services.msc
3. When the Services panel opens up, look for the individual service that you want to modify. Then, right-tap that service and tap “Properties“.
4. Then, click on the “Startup type:” and set it to the startup type you want.
5. Next, tap “Apply” and click “OK” after this to save the changes.
This way, you can modify all the services one by one.
How to reset the default startup type of all the services
Changing the startup type of individual services is a tiresome process. So, if you want to change the default startup type of all the services at once, you have to run a batch file. You can run the batch file to change the registry files on your computer.
1. Download the Restore_All_Windows_Services_to_Default.
2. Now, extract the downloaded file.
3. It has a batch file inside.
4. Inside the extracted folder, right-tap the “Restore_All_Windows_Services_to_Deafult” batch file and tap “Run as administrator” to run the batch file as an administrator.
This batch file will now run on your system, fixing the services based on which version of Windows you are using.
Optional Steps –
If you don’t want to use the batch file, you can use the service repair executable file.
1. Download the ServicesRepair file.
2. Extract the downloaded file and run the “ServicesRepair“.
This way, you can address all your Windows Services issues. Check if this solves your problem.
