Hi Daniel, If you are interested in performance I think the recommendation would be to host the web archive .war file using something like Apache Tomcat on windows.
That aside, I found your note about the user group informative. I have been thinking about proposing an update to the documentation to state the importance of running the service as a user or 'local system' rather than 'local service'. I recall some issues with GeoWebCache and permissions when running as local service. I am not sure if my experience is universal. Cheers.

The 'Server Status' > 'System Status' page seems to use oshi.software.os.windows.WindowsOperatingSystem to access system performance information. This requires the user, the GeoServer service is running under, to be in the local 'Performance Monitor Users' group. After adding the service user to this group the error is no longer written to the log file. Regards, Daniel From: Calliess Daniel Ing.

It seams that Error 5 means 'Access denied' when accessing the windows registry. Unfortunately I don't see a chance to check or set permissions on this registry key because it's a virtual key that is not listed in the registry editor. When I switch the GeoServer service user from the restricted user it is normally running under to LOCAL SYSTEM the error messages are no longer written to the log. Does anyone have an idea why these errors happen and how to avoid them (aside from running the service as SYSTEM)? Regards Daniel
