Dedicated Server service automatically starting with Windows
As the title suggests, the dedicated server is automatically starting with Windows 10 when I boot my computer. I never changed any settings for it to do that, so I'm assuming that when your service installs it doesn't have any specific programming for the service to choose when and how it starts. Maybe you could figure out something so that it gets set to a manual start, so that when you launch the server tool from steam it would start the service, and then stop it when you close the server? As of now, even if I set it to manual, if I've done anything with the server files or reset the files then the service sets itself back to automatic after running the server tool on steam. I'm assuming that this is a problem with the tool simply because it's the only service that does this, and I've noticed that it sometimes can take up to 3GB of memory while doing nothing (I hope). I have the latest versions of Windows 10, Steam, Space Engineers, and the Space Engineers Dedicated Server Tool.
I've since fixed the problem by setting up some events in my windows event manager so that when the server tool launches, it enables the service, and when the server tool closes, it completely disables the service. However, a lot of people probably don't know of this or don't know how to fix it, if it isn't just on my end anyways. I thought I'd let you know that it's a thing, at least. I'm including a screenshot, the RAM usage was low at the moment, but just about 5 minutes before it was up to 2GB for some reason.
Side note, I believe the only reason it dropped back down to 12MB at that time was because my memory cleaner ran itself. Every 15 minutes my RAM clears itself of stored data that's unnecessary, usually related to memory leaks, and somehow the tool still gets multiple GB of stored data on my RAM in that time frame? Something to check on, maybe...
