Description
Text stated:
Path to your
syncthing.exeand enter--no-restart --no-browser --home="<path to your Syncthing folder>"as Arguments.
but screenshot of nssm service manager show: -no-console -no-browser -home="C:\Syncthing"
I ran syncthing serve --help and it looks like option --no-console doesn't exist anymore.
Also, I suggest:
- to advice to install
syncthingintoC:\Program Filesinstead ofC:\Syncthingbecause by default all users of workstation might have write access intoC:\Syncthing. - since
syncthingsupposed to run as theSYSTEMaccount (to be able to sync multiple user's accounts, as well system folders), it would be more secure to useSYSTEM's home directory to prevent unauthorized user(s) to read/write tosyncthingdata/configuration files, that's why suggestion to use:C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Syncthing

Research direction
Start with users/autostart.rst at the “run as a service” section and rerun syncthing serve --help to verify the supported options. Compare the instructions and nssm screenshot, then assess the proposed installation and SYSTEM-profile paths. Done means the screenshot, command-line guidance, and accepted security recommendations are consistent.
