We also have the same problem with a C++ windows service that we created. Automatic startup works fine for most people. However we have 5 instances now where the customer's service was working fine and now it will not automatically start up.

The only thing that seems to work is setting to delayed start, but this is not a good option as we would like the service to be started right away. We've also tried adding service dependency of NetLogon - which did not work.

Also note that this was working fine for customers and at some point (windows update maybe?) it just stopped automatically starting.

The customers are also able to go into services and start the service manually, and it works. I'll be following this thread and hoping for a better solution than delayed start.
