Preface
As we all know, if you want to start nacos in a Windows environment, you need to run startup.cmd in the bin directory. This startup method needs to ensure that the cmd window is always open. As long as this window is closed, the nacos service will stop.
Therefore, in order to avoid artificially closing the window by mistake, registering nacos as a winserver is a good choice. This not only ensures that nacos is always running in the background, but also allows you to customize the startup and self-starting through the registered service name.
