Notepad++ running as a service in windows 2012 R2?

Hi. I tried to run notepad++ as a service in windows 2012 R2 and in Windows 10. And in both situation I got an error:
“error 1053 the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion”.

I surfed over the internet and all ideas doesn’t work.

So my question is mentions in the subject ;)

because npp is not written to be a service.
If you want to have it act like this you need to wrap
it with some kind of proxy-service.
If it is all about having npp run on startup, put it into the autostart folder?

Thanks a lot for your advice!
