Monitor Windows Service Startup Type Changes

[Ant1D]

Hey,

I am monitoring some Windows Event Log data and I want to see from this any events where the 'startup type' is changed (e.g. from 'Manual' to 'Disabled' OR from 'Disabled' to 'Automatic')

Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks in advance for your help

I have found the answer:

An event with ID=7040 is generated in the Windows Event (System) Logs whenever a service has its start type changed.
