FWIW:
In past releases of EPICS if windows is built debug, during development, then the caRepeater process is created with an associated console window, which makes it easier to stop. I have also, in the past, added an explicit caRepeater process kill commandl to my build script, on windows.

Has anyone ever spun caRepeater as a windows service? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/services/svc-cpp
C:\>choco install nssmI love Chocolatey, it makes installing software on Windows so much easier than doing it by hand. Then created and started the new service using
C:\>nssm install "CA Repeater" C:\epics\bin\caRepeater.exe C:\>nssm start "CA Repeater"Now the repeater appears in the task manager as a background process, and should start automatically whenever the machine comes up. The nssm will also restart it if it ever dies for some reason.
