Tuesday, March 22, 2016 1:59 PM

0-Boot-Specifies a driver that is loaded (but not started) by the boot loader. If no errors occur, the driver is started 
during kernel initialization prior to any non-boot drivers being loaded.

1-System-Specifies a driver that loads and starts during kernel initialization after drivers with a Start value of 0 have been
started. 

2-Auto Load-Specifies a driver or service that is initialized at system startup by Session Manager (Smss.exe) or the Services 
Controller (Services.exe).

3-On Demand-Specifies a driver or service that the Service Control Manager (SCM) will start only on demand. 
These drivers have to be started manually by calling a Win32 SCM application programming interface (API), such
as the Services snap-in.

4-Disable-Specifies a disabled (not started) driver or service.

5-Delayed Start-Specifies that less-critical services will start shortly after startup to allow the operating system to be responsive to 
the user sooner. This start type was first introduced in Windows Vista.

Default is 3, atm i have 5.

It's a question.

What's the best value for this registry entry?

The system services manager. Sets the default Values in the registry. There isn't a best value. Just each for its own specific startup requirement and your referring to the start-up type of a non HID legacy device like Keyboard/PS2 Mouse generally they boot on system start. Unless you changed in the bios. If you look at /en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/hid/ps-2--i8042prt--driver

Then you can get all the info you need on this. Making changes to registry is  never advised if you must. ensure you backup the registry 1st
