when I start a redis service but it fail and return the error (error 5 : can't access)，I found if the windows has Everyone group or NETWORK SERIVCE the redis service will be started successfully but if not it return error. How shoud I set the redis if I want to start redis service with system group ?

Hi @tiantianjunwei by default the MSI installs the Redis service using the Network Service account that will also need to have read/write access to the installation folder. If you change the account, make sure it can access the installation folder.

how can I change the redis configs to use SYSTEM not Network Service when redis starts

@tiantianjunwei follow the Microsoft documentation for general Windows services account management, the only Redis-specific is that the account requires read/write access to the installation folder and it's subfolders.
