Hello @Muammar Abubakar

There are many reasons why a service has stopped, my recommendation would be to set the service Start as "Automatic" in order to be activate by the service account it is configured with.

On the other hand, to understand what stops the service, you can head to the Event Viewer in Windows Server and filter by Source: "Service Control Manager"
The usual events IDs are:
Event ID 7040 - covers Service start type change (eg disabled, manual, automatic)
Event ID 7036 - covers Service start/stop

You can try also with Powershell:
get-eventlog -source "Service Control manager" -LogName System | select message, timegenerated, username | Out-GridView

Hope this helps with your query,
