It's because the service is running as "local service". If you check the event viewer -> system you will see an error "PM2 service is market as an interactive service. However, the system is configured to not allow interactive services."

The way we fix this is to change the windows service to run as "local system" by changing the "log on" of the service to be "Local System account" and then try restart the service.
