Hello Robert,

just keep your setting into the the config and then use your UI form to edit
these settings
your service should check the config and read that settings

and dont create the service with UI, it's not appropriate

Depending on your version of visual studio there should be a wizard to
create a windows service application.
As services start up and run before users log in, you should never add a
user interface to the main application.
Create a 2nd simple form application and use it to create the configuration
that the service reads. Remember to make your service rugged so that it wont
fall over if it doesnt find the config file.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
