A program that starts whenever Windows starts is known as a service. See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...=vs.85%29.aspx for further details.

Also you can create a service from an .exe see

Anti-virus software uses Windows services which need to be written as Window services. I gave you the link as to these details.

If you want to use an existing .exe as a service then you can use the sc command for which I also provided links.

If you want to do it all in code, see

There is also the program srvany.exe that be used. See

Then you should start wanting to create an exe able to run service mode. Regular exe is not able to do that.
