.net 5.0 windows service does not start automatically

Question

I have a .net 5.0 windows service defined as bellow

.UseWindowsService();

which is set to auto start delayed but it wont start automatically only manually so I know that there no issue with the service its self. the only thing I can think of is that the service uses System.IO.FileWatcher and System.IO.Pipes. is that a dependency that I need to say that the service depends on? if yes which one?

Do you have any sort of logging with your application? Have you inspected Event Viewer for issues? — gunr2171, Aug 13 '21 at 17:37
Can you describe the steps you took to determine that it won't start automatically? — John Wu, Aug 13 '21 at 18:14
I have logging in my application but nothing is being logged neither in my log and the Event Viewer as well. — Joe B, Aug 13 '21 at 18:51
I restarted the computer (p.s. the pc is being logged in by auto logon) — Joe B, Aug 13 '21 at 18:52
