What is the difference between “manual” and “disabled” service in Windows?
Problem
Windows services seem to come in three start-up types: Automatic: seems to mean that it is started at bootup Manual: seems to mean that it is not started at bootup Disabled: also seems to mean that it is not started at bootup What is the difference between the latter two?

Fix for: What is the difference between “manual” and “disabled” service in Windows?
Manual means that the service will start only when Windows or another service needs it, or if you invoke something to start the service. You can use the command from the command line to enable a manual service. When you reboot, the service will again be off until you restart it. Disabled, on the other hand, means that the service will stay off, regardless of whether you try to start it or not. Other services or applications which depend on the disabled service may fail.
