This is a feature request, technically.

There should be an option to have the Windows service be set to manual instead of automatic, and only start when the user starts the barrier client, and stops when the barrier client is closed and stopped.

I think starting services needs Administrator privilege, so the client will trigger UAC dialogs.

The service should be mainly for client mode, to control high-privilege windows (like Task Manager, Login Screens, etc.), so a better UX might be only checking (and starting) service when clicking the "Start" button for client mode.
