QuestionService not created correctly under windows 11 but any older version. Pin

I'm using the following function for years and used it under any Version of Windows since XP. It creates a systemtask with the start type set to "auto", just like it is expected to do. But under windows 11, the start type of the installed service always defaults to "manual" when being created. Any help solving this is very much appreciated. Am using VS2022 using toolset 1.41_XP (for reasons)
(already added some extra check for win 11... but still the start type defaults to manual in the newly created task)

static int manage_service(int action) {
	SC_HANDLE hSCM = NULL, hService = NULL;
	SERVICE_DESCRIPTION descr = { server_name };
	char path[PATH_MAX + 20]; // Path to executable plus magic argument
	int success = 1;

	GetModuleFileName(NULL, path, sizeof(path));
	strncat(path, " ", sizeof(path));
	strncat(path, service_magic_argument, sizeof(path));

	if (IsRunAsAdministrator()) {
		if ((hSCM = OpenSCManager(NULL, NULL, action == ID_INSTALL_SERVICE ?
			GENERIC_WRITE : GENERIC_READ)) == NULL) {
			success = 0;
			show_error();
		}
		else if (action == ID_INSTALL_SERVICE) {
			hService = CreateService(hSCM, service_name, service_name,
				SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS, SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS,
				SERVICE_AUTO_START, SERVICE_ERROR_NORMAL,
				path, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
			if (hService) {
				ChangeServiceConfig(hService, SERVICE_NO_CHANGE, SERVICE_AUTO_START,
					SERVICE_NO_CHANGE, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
				ChangeServiceConfig2(hService, SERVICE_CONFIG_DESCRIPTION, &descr);

				// Check Windows version
				OSVERSIONINFOEX osvi;
				ZeroMemory(&osvi, sizeof(OSVERSIONINFOEX));
				osvi.dwOSVersionInfoSize = sizeof(OSVERSIONINFOEX);
				osvi.dwMajorVersion = 11; // Windows 11

				if (GetVersionEx((OSVERSIONINFO*)&osvi)) {
					// Set start type to AUTO_START for Windows 11
					ChangeServiceConfig(hService, SERVICE_NO_CHANGE, SERVICE_AUTO_START,
						SERVICE_NO_CHANGE, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
				}
			}
			else {
				show_error();
			}
		}
		else if (action == ID_REMOVE_SERVICE) {
			if ((hService = OpenService(hSCM, service_name, DELETE)) == NULL ||
				!DeleteService(hService)) {
				show_error();
			}
		}
		else if ((hService = OpenService(hSCM, service_name,
			SERVICE_QUERY_STATUS)) == NULL) {
			success = 0;
		}

		CloseServiceHandle(hService);
		CloseServiceHandle(hSCM);
	}
	else {
		if (action == ID_INSTALL_SERVICE) {
			RunServiceAsAdmin('I', path, service_name);
		}
		else if (action == ID_REMOVE_SERVICE) {
			RunServiceAsAdmin('R', path, service_name);
		}
		else {
			if ((hSCM = OpenSCManager(NULL, NULL, GENERIC_READ)) == NULL) {
				success = 0;
				show_error();
			}
			if ((hService = OpenService(hSCM, service_name,
				SERVICE_QUERY_STATUS)) == NULL) {
				success = 0;
			}

			CloseServiceHandle(hService);
			CloseServiceHandle(hSCM);
		}
	}

	return success;
}
