Configuring Elasticsearch to run as a Windows service

By default, Elasticsearch runs on the command line. You can install it as a Windows service that runs in the background and starts automatically at boot time without user interaction.

In the command window where Elasticsearch is running, stop it by pressing Ctrl+C.
Run the following command to set up Elasticsearch as a service:
```
.\bin\elasticsearch-service.bat install
```
Start the tool for managing the Elasticsearch service configuration settings:
```
.\bin\elasticsearch-service.bat manager
```
In the Properties window, set the Startup type to Automatic, then click Start, and OK.

You can check the service status in the Windows Services Console, for example:
