No - causes problems as tcpip is a kernel driver which is early and low level
BOOT_START - other BOOT_START and SYSTEM_START kernel drivers and services
depend on tcpip, and later AUTO_START services like dhcp and dnscache depend on
those - once those are available, we have a gateway, resolver, and the other
network services which we need available to use the network, which is why we
need to start Cygwin network services as Delayed auto start
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/cygsshd Start=2
DelayedAutostart=1) and Preshutdown (cygrunsrv -O, --preshutdown
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services/cygsshd/Parameters
Preshutdown=1).
