the nssm work all the time for me maybe you doing something wrnog

but there are other apps to do this like :

FireDaemon , RunAsService , winsw ,

even you can do this with powershell cmmand

the command for make service is :

New-Service -Name "ExampleService" -DisplayName "Example Service" -Description "An Example Service" -StartupType Manual -BinaryPathName "Path-To-App.exe --service"

the full guide of powershell is here 

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/new-service?view=powershell-7.3
and
https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/91/sitecore-experience-manager/run-an-application-as-a-windows-service.html

i recommend to use (RunAsService) app its easy

I have a utility that works on all PCs in my office.

I need more control, so it's important that this utility can run as a service.

I will try Victor's solutions, but if you think you have other ideas I will gladly try them.
Thank you

WinSW is my solution, but.... the only problem is that programs made with VNW don't work.

WinSW correctly generates the service and runs it.

The problem is that the executable ( see Task Manager ) is executed but as a background process.
It is in memory but is not executed, because is not a Apps.

In your opinion, is there a solution?

apps made by VNW are gui app i think thats a problem

i also have the app name (AlwaysUp) that claim can run even gui app as service

try maybe solve your problem
