Windows Services Recovery option doesn't work ... or I don't understand it

I have configured a windows service with the recovery option to restart immediately after "failing" and reset the fail counter after 0 days:

  • First Failure: Restart the Service
  • Second Failure: Take No Action (then also tested with Restart the Service)
  • Subsequent failures: Take No Action (then also tested with Restart the Service)
  • Reset fail count after: 0 days
  • Restart service after: 0 minutes
  • Enable actions for stops with errors: checked

Then I have open the Task Manager and ended the service process. My expectation was that every time that I ended the service process, it would be restarted automatically immediately after. Effectively a few times it restarted automatically, but many other times it didn't, I had to restart it by hand.

So, am I stupid? Do I miss something? Or it doesn't work?
