As detailed in #3642, recent Windows upgrades (like Windows 11 24H2) recreate the Services registry key and remove all manually installed services, such as the GitHub Actions Runner.
This is a behavior that is causing havoc in many places, and subject to an even bigger discussion, but this issue shall only be about the GitHub Actions Runner.
Unfortunately, there is currently no easy way to restore the GitHub Actions Runner service, because it only supports deleting the configuration and recreating it from scratch.
You should add an option --reinstallservice to the Windows version of Runner.Listener or RunnerService to reinstall the service based on the stored configuration.
This would highly simplify maintenance in such situations without having to resort to manual sc create calls.
