Modules run as a service vs being Started/Stopped

[Jamoma]

Sorry for my ignorance, but I don't understand the difference between checking the box that has a red X and just running the modules by starting and stopping them manually.
All I know is that when I accidentally did mess with the boxes it messed everything up and I had to uninstall and restart my computer and reinstall to correct it. Please if you have time can you explain so newbies like me will have a better grasp on what is happening in the xampp control panel. Thanks.

Hi Jamoma,

Please start new threads with the words "Hi" or "Hello". A short salutation is an act of politeness. Even if the internet is an virtual area, there is always a human being behind the screen. A polite beginning is the first positive impression you can leave here and helps to get polite answers too. Please keep that in mind if you start a new thread in any community board. Thank you.

If the Service for a Module is registered, it will start right after Windows start without any needed action from the user.

best wishes,
