There is currently no official installer available for Windows. However,
there are a number of easy solutions.
Task Scheduler
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#. Start the `Task Scheduler <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Task_Scheduler>`__
#. Create a New Task ("Action" menu -> "Create Task...")
#. General Tab:
#. Name the task (for example 'Syncthing')
#. Check "Run whether user is logged on or not"
#. Triggers Tab:
#. Click "New..."
#. Set "Begin the task" to "At Startup"
#. (optional) choose a delay
#. Make sure Enabled is checked
#. Click "OK"
#. Actions Tab:
#. Click "New..."
#. [Action] should be set as "Start a program"
#. Enter the path to syncthing.exe in "Program/Script"
#. Click "OK"
#. Settings Tab:
#. (recommended) Keep the checkbox on "Allow task to be run on demand"
#. Clear checkbox from "Stop task if it runs longer than:"
#. (recommended) Keep "Do not start a new instance" for "If the task is already running, then the following rule applies"
#. Click OK
#. Enter password for the user.
