Source: https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/licensed-extension/release-notes

Demonstrates how to install, start, stop, and uninstall a Windows service using Chocolatey's service management functions. Ensure the service name and executable path are correctly specified.

```powershell
$toolsDir   = "$(Split-Path -parent $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition)"
$serviceExe = Join-Path $toolsDir 'service\chocolatey-agent.exe'

$packageArgs = @{
  Name                  = 'chocolatey-agent'
  DisplayName           = 'Chocolatey Agent'
  Description           = 'Chocolatey Agent is a background service for Chocolatey.'
  StartupType           = 'Automatic'
  ServiceExecutablePath = $serviceExe
}

#Username, Password, -DoNotStartService are also considered

Install-ChocolateyWindowsService @packageArgs

# The other three methods simply take the service name.
Start-ChocolateyWindowsService -Name 'chocolatey-agent'
Stop-ChocolateyWindowsService -Name 'chocolatey-agent'
Uninstall-ChocolateyWindowsService -Name 'chocolatey-agent'
```

```bash
choco feature enable --name=useBackgroundServiceInteractively
```
