# Running Curiosity as a Service

You can configure Curiosity to run as a Windows service. For that, first make sure the server is not running (from the web page, go to Settings > Maintenance > Shutdown - or press Ctrl+C on the shell).

Then open the location where the app was installed (usually %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Curiosity Workspace\) in an elevated command prompt, and run the configure-windows-service.bat file located on the folder:

You need to open an elevated command prompt to configure this.

This should take a few moments, and you should soon be able to open the browser to http://localhost:8080 (or the port you configured) to login again.

You can query the status of the service by running sc query curiosity on the shell. Curiosity should also show on the services.msc tool, where you can manage, start and stop it.
