Research direction

Start by reproducing the service shutdown on Windows 7 SP1 x64: launch the screensaver, wait for it to exit, and observe the service state. Done means the service remains running or resumes automatically after the screensaver closes, without requiring the program to be opened manually.

Description

There's a bug that I've seen since long: the service turns off when a screensaver is launched.
When the screensaver is no longer running, I have to go to the program and manually turn the service on.
