What is the easiest way to turn .exe into a service?

Run the exe as usual. I thought the vps stays "on" even when you're not connected to it

Right. @Stewielenor it should stay active. I run multiple apps and never had any problem as long as VPS works it work. Can you please give us more info?

If you want to run a exe file as a service you could try something e.g.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for.

You can't just turn an exe into a service, you would need to rewrite parts of your application to get it working as a service.

If it requires mouse input, just leave the VPS running and disconnect from the RDP session.

I basically recorded mouse keyboard actions that needs to wee done on repeat, but every program stops preforming when I disconnect from Remote desktop.
read that this morning but I still don't know how to do it as I've never messed around with services.

I did and it doesn't work. App counter does go up but the actions are not preformed.

"Task Scheduler"

You can set it to start once the server starts. triggers, or repeatedly in time intervals. It also can check if the program is already running and not run it multiple times. It is like the Windows version of Linux con jobs.

Service are harder. Unless the .exe was coded to be a service, windows will not start it as a service.
