Relaunch through UAC when (un)installing the service unprivileged
--install-service/--remove-service on Windows no longer fail with 'Access is denied' from a normal shell: the process re-runs itself via ShellExecuteEx 'runas', waits for the elevated child and mirrors its exit code. The child gets --elevated-child and pauses for a keypress so its console output stays readable. Declining the prompt reports 'UAC prompt declined'.

### Run natively on Windows (current primary deployment)
|

|
||||
Download `gpu-turnstile.exe` from a release and install it as a Windows
|
||||
service from an elevated shell — the installer creates the canonical
|
||||
layout, copies the binary and (if none exists yet) your
|
||||
`gpu-turnstile.env` into it, and registers the copy:
|
||||
service — no admin shell needed, a UAC prompt appears automatically and
|
||||
the elevated child does the work (its window waits for Enter so you can
|
||||
read the result):
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
gpu-turnstile.exe --install-service # installs into Program Files, auto-start
