Default Behavior
DataCollectionPublishingService is a Win32 service. In Windows 10 it is starting only if the user, an application or another service starts it. When the DataCollectionPublishingService is started, it is running as LocalSystem in a shared process of svchost.exe along with other services. If DataCollectionPublishingService fails to load or initialize, Windows 10 start up proceeds without warnings. However the error details are being logged.
