Thank you. A quick clarification. When we run the daemons with the
'--detach', it simply detaches itself and runs in the background and
we need ovs-appctl commands to terminate them. In this case the
daemons do not register themselves with the Windows services manager.
To run as services we need to add --service --service-monitor as the
command line options as explained in this documentation. In case of
services, we need to use 'sc stop' to stop the services.
