How to create a per user service on windows?

Question

As per this link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/application-management/per-user-services-in-windows windows 10 now supports per user services . But i could not find any documentation on how to create my own per user service. Is it possible to create per user services in windows?

Answer 1

I have not tested this, but according to the docs it should be sufficient to specify either of the following in the dwServiceType parameter to CreateService:

• SERVICE_USER_OWN_PROCESS (0x50)
• SERVICE_USER_SHARE_PROCESS (0x60)

See my article Per-User Services in Windows: Info & Configuration for background information.
