Running Node-RED as a service on Windows using NSSM ...

> Hello guys I'm running the red node with windows and would like to know how to automatically start it. With the task manager it did not work well. I configured using NSSM and until it starts but when I changed, for example, the port it did not load. Anyone have any idea what might be happening?

> Hi everyone, so as the title suggest, i'm running node-red on windows server. The server reboots it self every night at some fixed time, and when it "comes back" does not start the session, but it starts all the services except the node-red, so my question is how can i make the node-red start without having to initiate the session?
