How can I get the Windows service startup type using PowerShell and not using WMI?

I looked inside the Get-Service command, and it does not provide something to display the "startup type".

WMI is the way to do this.

Get-WmiObject -Query "Select StartMode From Win32_Service Where Name='winmgmt'"

Or

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Service -Property StartMode -Filter "Name='Winmgmt'"
