OS Service (exe)
Install AgentOS as a Windows system service for enterprise and CI/CD.
Note
AgentOS is proprietary software, free for non-commercial use. For commercial deployments, a license is required. See pricing for details.
Prerequisites
- Windows (Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2019+), see System Requirements for supported versions.
- Administrator rights
Note
To automate the login/lock screen (Secure Attention Sequence), a Group Policy setting must be enabled. See Troubleshooting for details.
Installation

Run the installer
Run the EXE and approve the administrator elevation request.
Configure the service (optional)
The installer includes a Service Configuration screen:
- Connection Scope: Use Public (0.0.0.0) if AgentOS needs to be reachable from another machine (e.g. a remote CI runner). Keep Private (127.0.0.1) for local use only.
- Log Level:
Infofor production,Debugfor troubleshooting. - Allow CTRL+ALT+DEL: Enable to automate the Windows lock/login screen (requires Group Policy, see Troubleshooting).
- Allow control of administrative applications: Enable only if you need to automate apps running as administrator.
Click Next, then Install.
Reboot if prompted
If the installer asks to reboot, restart the machine so all changes take effect.
AskUI Desktop and the CLI automatically detect the service and use it instead of standalone mode. For silent/unattended installation, see Silent (exe).
Uninstalling
Always uninstall via Windows Add/Remove Programs. Do not remove the service from Windows Services manually.
