I recall having issues with the Windows service at one point Mine was related to the exec path In services msc what does your path to executable have mine reads ```C Program Files osquery osqueryd osqueryd exe flagfile C Program Files osquery osquery flags ```

``` C Program Files osquery osqueryd osqueryd exe flagfile= C Program Files osquery osquery flags ```

You may need to tweak the service to not have the executable quoted only the flagfile parameter quoted
