If this is true, then why is there a manual setting for services? What would be the difference to windows resources between the manual and automatic?

Also, even if there isn't any difference in system performance with services on or off there is still a reason to turn them off. Certain services have vulnerabilities, whcih can be elminated by turning them off...
