Web Service automatic startup fails

Hi. We are using a Phidgets Interface Kit on Windows 10, with v21 of the Phidgets driver. We have set the Web Service as automatic start-up. However sometimes when the PC is started up the Web Service does not start, and when we look at the control panel, the setting on the Web Service has returned ...
