SCM Services - Prevent Automatic Startup of an Instance

[!INCLUDEappliesto-ss-xxxx-xxxx-xxx-md] This topic describes how prevent an instance of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] from starting automatically in [!INCLUDEssCurrent] by using SQL Server Configuration Manager. [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] is normally configured to start automatically. You can change that by setting the start mode for the instance to manual.

Using SQL Server Configuration Manager

To prevent automatic startup of an instance of SQL Server

  1. On the Start menu, point to All Programs, point to [!INCLUDEssCurrentUI], point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Configuration Manager.

    [!NOTE]
    Because [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Configuration Manager is a snap-in for the [!INCLUDEmsCoName] Management Console program and not a stand-alone program, [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Configuration Manager does not appear as an application in newer versions of Windows.

    • Windows 10:
      To open [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Configuration Manager, on the Start Page, type SQLServerManager13.msc (for [!INCLUDEssSQL15]). For previous versions of [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] replace 13 with a smaller number. Clicking SQLServerManager13.msc opens the Configuration Manager. To pin the Configuration Manager to the Start Page or Task Bar, right-click SQLServerManager13.msc, and then click Open file location. In the Windows File Explorer, right-click SQLServerManager13.msc, and then click Pin to Start or Pin to taskbar.
    • Windows 8:
      To open [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Configuration Manager, in the Search charm, under Apps, type SQLServerManager<version>.msc such as SQLServerManager13.msc, and then press Enter.

  2. In SQL Server Configuration Manager, expand Services, and then click SQL Server.

  3. In the details pane, right-click MSSQLServer, and then click Properties.

  4. In the SQL Server <instancename> Properties dialog box, on the Service tab, in the General box, set the value of Start Mode to Manual.

  5. Click OK to close the SQL Server <instancename> Properties dialog box, and then close [!INCLUDEssNoVersion] Configuration Manager.
