I have SQL Server 2012 Express installed on Windows 8.1 and am trying to change the Start Mode to Manual using SQL Server Configuration Manager. However, when I open the Properties dialog and use the drop-down for Start Mode on the Service tab the drop-down is inoperative. A "vertical bar" appears but no options.
Is there some other way that I can change the Start Mode?
