I am writing a WCF service hosted by a Windows service that is responsible for detecting USB devices being connected/disconnected.
Now, in order for this to work I need to understand the Windows boot sequence. Will Windows always start all its services (including mine) before it starts scanning for connected devices?
I need to make sure my service is started first or my list of detected devices will be wrong after rebooting Windows.

If you register for (arrival) notifications then scan for existing devices does it really matter how Windows behaves thereafter? – Alex K. Jun 19 '19 at 11:31

I am not scanning for what is connecting, I am detecting what gets plugged or unplugged. – toughQuestions Jun 19 '19 at 12:25
