Currently the service starts in the "Automatic" mode, so there can be conflicts with other services like login service, shared directory mappers, etc. "Automatic (Delayed start)" could resolve this issue by allowing other services to start before Jenkins master/slave starts the initialization.
The change requires https://github.com/kohsuke/winsw/releases/tag/winsw-1.17 at least (not merged into Jenkins core)

The service should not use delayed start as this will slow down the startup of Jenkins.
If anything the service dependencies should be set correctly - but how do you know that you need the "Workstation" service only if you are running on a shared home/workspace.
Some installations may have disabled this for security.
A delayed start by default (IIRC) will keep a salve offline for 2 minutes. AFAICT there is only a global setting for delayed start and changing this will affect services other than Jenkins.
