Adguard VPN service Startup Type should be Manual. #470

Open Chicos123 opened 1 year ago

Chicos123 commented 1 year ago

Issue Details

The service should be turned off when not in use. However, Adguard VPN service runs automatically on Windows startup.

When "Launch AdGuard VPN at Windows startup" is disabled, Adguard VPN Service Startup Type Should Be Manual

Proposed solution

Set Adguard VPN Service Startup Type to Manual (Trigger Start) from installation, or set Adguard VPN Service Startup Type to Manual (Trigger Start) when "Launch AdGuard VPN at Windows Startup" is disabled.

Alternative solution

Autorun is disabled in the registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Adguard VPN Service]
"Start"=dword:00000003

Hi @Chicos123

Thank you for your suggestion. We will consider setting the AdGuard VPN service startup type to Manual, but this may result in slower application startup as we will need to start a service each time.
