+# Register as a Windows Service
+
+To register Gitea as a Windows service, first run `cmd` as an Administrator, and then run the following command:
+
+```
+sc create gitea start= auto binPath= ""C:\gitea\gitea.exe" web --config "C:\gitea\custom\conf\app.ini""
+```
+
+Do not forget to replace `C:\gitea` with your real Gitea folder.
+
+After, open "Windows Services", search for the service named "gitea", right-click it and click on "Run". If everything is OK you should be able to reach Gitea on `http://localhost:3000` (or the port is was configured, if different than 3000).
+
+## Unregister as a service
+
+To unregister Gitea as a service, open `cmd` as an Administrator and run:
+
+```
+sc delete gitea
+```
