On my system, I have some auxiliary routines, which are triggered at set times, out of work.

These routines are run by a Windows service program.

Would you need to run these asynchronous services? That is, using methods async ?

As far as I know the main reason for using async methods is not to block the user's screen while running a task.

Now, for service I do not see much reason to use such methods.

It does not have many details, but I would say no. In general the asynchronicity is to enhance the user experience, which in the case does not exist. Of course you could have the need if this service responded to multiple concurrent users, but that does not seem to be the case.
