Pull request overview
Updates the Windows “Runner as a service” documentation to reflect newer Apache Commons Daemon (procrun) usage, including 64-bit binary selection, improved stop behavior via a PID-based stop script, and updated JVM defaults.
Changes:

prunsrv.exewith 64-bit JDK/JREs. - Introduced a PID-based
stop-runner.batand updated the procrun install command (including higher default-Xmx). - Added additional notes/troubleshooting tips and updated example output.
