On other platforms, we've left the business of how to run Chef after the first run to the user to decide using a cookbook, because so many installations are different. Some use cron, others the chef-client as a daemon, others choose to only run Chef manually. The chef-client cookbook contains over a dozen implementation possibilities.

However, we did choose to have the MSI be able to install and enable the service on Windows. It would make sense to enable knife windows bootstrap to do this on installation as well:

From https://docs.chef.io/install_windows.html:

msiexec /qn /i C:\inst\chef-client-11.8.0-1.windows.msi ADDLOCAL="ChefClientFeature,ChefServiceFeature"
