Further delay Automatic (Delayed Start) of Services to prevent start-up issues after Windows update or simple reboot

[Daniele_Purrone]

Qlik Sense or QlikView may require more time to start correctly than the default Automatic (Delayed Start) function allows. 

This can happen after Windows patches have been applied or when the Operating System has to run background processes that delay other essential system functionalities from starting on time. 

Resolution:

By default, "Automatic (Delayed Start)" services will start at 120 seconds after all other "Automatic" services have started.

This value can be changed on a global or on a per-service basis.

For this to apply, the QlikView or Qlik Sense services must have previously all been set to Delayed Start.

To set up Delayed Start:

1. Open the Windows Services Console
2. Locate the Qlik Services
3. Right-click each service 
4. Choose Properties
5. In the General tab, select Automatic (Delayed Start) as the Startup type

To allow Delayed Start more time GLOBALLY:

1. Open Windows Registry
2. Go to File
3. Click Export
4. Create a backup of your current registry
5. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\
6. Right click on the right page
7. Click New and select DWORD
8. Label the new DWORD "AutoStartDelay" 
9. Set AutoStartDelay in milliseconds (decimal). E.G. 240000 is 240 seconds.

To allow Delayed Start more time SERVICE BY SERVICE:

1. Open Windows Registry
2. Go to File
3. Click Export
4. Create a backup of your current registry
5. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\<servicename>
6.  To increase the default delay of 120 seconds, right click the registry key and add new key AutoStartDelay (DWORD (32-bit))     
7. Set AutoStartDelay in milliseconds (decimal). E.G. 240000 is 240 seconds.
