Make sure the service is set to MANUAL and not AUTOMATIC, SQL Server manages this service. Also, ensure that the account that is set for SQL Server Service is using has appropriate permissions to be able to start the ADHelper service.

Windows authentication is nothing to do with ad helper service, os uses that service to add sql instance to AD.
