If the startup type is set to Automatic, the service will start when Windows starts. If it's manual, you have to manually start the service.

If you have just installed the service, it doesn't start automatically so if you want it up and running you can either start the service manually or boot the Windows.

If you meant that the service doesn't start when you log off/on, then that's true. Services are independent from desktop sessions.
