Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have a home server on Windows 10 that I would like to run a bunch of Linux services on automatically, on boot.
Describe the solution you'd like
Have the Windows services system startup services on distros of interest, with at least the capability of having it work on a Local System account.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The only working alternative that I have right now is scripts that start up as soon as my admin user signs on (who is configured to login automatically). I've also tried to write a Windows service myself in C# but kept running into permission issues. Really, every alternative I've tried has been rife with permission issues.
