> **Tip for Running `containerd` Service on Windows:**
>
> `containerd` logs are not persisted when we start it as a service
using Windows Service Manager. [`nssm`](https://nssm.cc) can be used to
configure logs to go into a cyclic buffer:
> ```powershell
> nssm.exe install containerd
> nssm.exe set containerd AppStdout "\containerd.log"
> nssm.exe set containerd AppStderr "\containerd.err.log"
> nssm.exe start containerd
> # to stop:
> nssm.exe stop containerd
> ```
