There are a lot of benefits if you can make normal programs run like system services, for example: start a program when no user is logged in to the computer or is not under the specified account, make it run 24/7 without human intervention, make if work fine after logging out/logging in, run it quietly in the background, run it under a specified account, and more. To do this, in addition to using Application as Service, you can also try AppToService.

AppToService can run any executable file (including EXE, script, batch, etc.) as a Windows system service. It can be used under all conditions, and will not cause damage to applications (provided that the data in program and system has not been changed arbitrarily), and does not require modification of the registry. In addition, when an application terminates/exits due to an error, the automatic recovery function of Windows Services can restart it.

AppToService is a Windows console application, provides you with a command line interface and comprehensive help with tips and examples, making it easy to use for both IT professionals and ordinary users. It lets you run programs, scripts, batch files, shortcuts and other types of executable files as Windows services, offers many options for more control, and works with almost any application.
