{% hint style="info" %}
This page only appears on Windows. Registering as a service on linux needs to be done  manually. see [Running on linux](/mailscheduler/getting-started/setup/summary/running-on-linux.md)

MailScheduler is designed to run as a service. To enable or disable the service, select the option in the Installer.

If you have selected to not run MailScheduler as a service but would like to change this option, or vice versa, you can run the same installer you used for the latest upgrade / installation and select the option you would like.
