Windows 10: Windows BITS service Manual

any idea why my system has somehow been set to manual for the BITS? I had a support ticket just recently and this was fixed along with some other security issues r/t corrupt driver. I was going to just change it but wanted to ask if anyone has any insite on the best thing to do. Just set to auto delayed start and "set it and forget it?"

BITS service manual or automatic?
