I didn't find any possibility of setting the recovery options for a service added to an MSIX package. The service is added to the package manifest as a desktop6:Service element as described here. But after the package is installed, all recovery options for the service are set to Take no action:
And there is no possibility to change them neither manually:
nor via the sc failure cmd command (Result: Error: OpenService FAILED 5: Access is denied. is returned), nor from OpenService function call (it returns NULL and the GetLastError returns ACCES_DENIED=5 code), even if cmd and code are launched with the elevated privileges. It stops me from using this approach because I would like to rely on the service, so I want to set a restart recovery action. But with the Take no action recovery action, once the service process crashes, it will never be restarted by OS.
Is it possible to add this tuning?
