### Kubelet and kube-proxy can now run as Windows services
Starting with kubernetes v1.11, kubelet and kube-proxy can run as Windows services.
This means that you can now register them as Windows services via `sc` command. More details about how to create Windows services with `sc` can be found [here](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/251192/how-to-create-a-windows-service-by-using-sc-exe).
**Examples:**
To create the service:
```
PS > sc.exe create <component_name> binPath= "<path_to_binary> --service <other_args>"
CMD > sc create <component_name> binPath= "<path_to_binary> --service <other_args>"
```
Please note that if the arguments contain spaces, it must be escaped. Example:
```
PS > sc.exe create kubelet binPath= "C:\kubelet.exe --service --hostname-override 'minion' <other_args>"
CMD > sc create kubelet binPath= "C:\kubelet.exe --service --hostname-override 'minion' <other_args>"
```
To start the service:
```
PS > Start-Service kubelet; Start-Service kube-proxy
CMD > net start kubelet && net start kube-proxy
```
To stop the service:
```
PS > Stop-Service kubelet (-Force); Stop-Service kube-proxy (-Force)
CMD > net stop kubelet && net stop kube-proxy
```
To query the service:
```
PS > Get-Service kubelet; Get-Service kube-proxy;
CMD > sc.exe queryex kubelet && sc qc kubelet && sc.exe queryex kube-proxy && sc.exe qc kube-proxy
```
## Known Limitations for Windows Server Containers with v1.9
Some of these limitations will be addressed by the community in future releases of Kubernetes:
