Recovery Tab

The Recovery tab controls the manner in which Windows should attempt to fix a service failure, or if it should try at all.

These options are normally configured for critical services that need to be available as much as possible, for example networking services on servers. It is not compulsory to configure these options, and services can quite safely be left to “Take No Action” upon service failure.

A suggested configuration for critical services could be to restart the service on the first failure, and to run a command that sends an alert to the system administrator if the service fails a second time.
