As someone posted above the issue is most likely Windows UAC. Microsoft introduced a new level inside W10 at some point and its not at all clear to the average Joe how it works. However if you install by right clicking the installer and choosing Run as Administrator then LMS should install as a service correctly. Often users who are Administrators think this step isnt necessary but it is. Google - Elevated privileges. I use Windows PCs as my main work machines and admin networks full of them and I would choose Windows over a Linux desktop every time but for LMS Im strictly Linux or piCorePlayer these days and have been for years. Most server side software runs better on Linux imo. Its more stable and OS upgrades happen when I want them to not at the whim of some bloke in Redmond.
