Windows service fails to start with custom user until started once with local user
- by Gauls
All of a sudden my Windows service application after installation does not start. (Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do.)
The service uses a custom user. If I change the logon setting to use the local system account, the service starts fine. Then when I go back and change the login setting to use this custom account (local user - custom user under user group), the service will start.
Why doesn't it work in the first place?
