SERVICE_AUTO_START: does driver always starts before user mode service?
Posted by Bajamani on August 20th, 2005


i have a user mode service and a kernel mode driver installed both
with StartType = SERVICE_AUTO_START. does the SCM always starts the
driver first. i.e. are there any chances of user mode service starting
before the driver.

Driver Load Order in the DDK. Once you've put yourself in the auto start
category the load order rules are different and both drivers and
services will be loaded based on DependOnGroup and DependOnServices
ordering information.
