Default Behavior
SPP Notification Service is a Win32 service. In Windows 7 it won't be started if the user doesn't start it. When the SPP Notification Service is started, it is running as NT AUTHORITY\LocalService in a shared process of svchost.exe. Other system components, such as drivers and services, may run in the same process. If SPP Notification Service fails to start, Windows 7 attempts to write the failure details into Event Log. Then Windows 7 startup should proceed and the user should be notified that the sppuinotify service is not running because of the error.
Dependencies
SPP Notification Service is unable to start, if the COM+ Event System service is stopped or disabled.
