Research direction
No source file, test, or specific entry point is named. Start by examining the Windows service startup path using the supplied runner and diagnostic logs, then reproduce the failure on Windows 10 with version 2.283.1. Done means the configured runner starts successfully as a Windows service rather than only as a standalone application.
