My dll service disappears after restarting the system

I wrote a dll service in c++ with API functions and working properly. I implemented a ServiceMain() function as dllexport in which call RegisterServiceCtrlHandlerW() function to handle the incoming signals (e.g. stop, pause, ...) of my service.
Every thing working good and I defined all the necessary functions to run the service :
ServiceMain()is defined andRegisterServiceCtrlHandlerW()calls within to register control handler.- Set service status to
SERVICE_START_PENDINGthen toSERVICE_RUNNINGto run the service. - I implemented a
threadto do stuffs as service jobs and working properly. - And I can start and stop my service.
My service is a dll not exe so I'm using svchost.exe to host it and I did below steps to register in windows registry:
1. I create a new value in registry as a group to introduce my service to svchost.exe as following :
2. I create Parameters subkey And fill a value with my dll (service file) as following :
3. Also I defined a value (ServiceMain) due to introduce my ServiceMain function to svchost.exe as start point.
So far, my service working even in logged off user BUT when I restart my computer, after logon to windows my service disappeared from Windows Service Manager. Actually it is removed from SCM database.
By the way I installed my service with 3 methods. And I'm using svchost.exe as binarypath to install the service (because svchost.exe behave as host for my dll service). For example with sc.exe program I set binarypath to svchost.exe to run my service indirectly with -k groupname as parameters.
My problem is : When I restart my system then my service disappeared (is deleted) after logging in. Please help me to solve this problem.

Why don't you register the service using the API? Why hack at the registry?

@DavidHeffernan I hacked at the registry because its need to create some keys and values to introduce the service tosvchost.exe

Where is this documented as a supported thing to do? It doesn't seem to work. Perhaps it is a valid thing and you got something wrong. In which case that should be clear once we read the documentation. Or is this unsupported and you instead need to use the service API to add a new service.

Note that Svchost.exe is reserved for use by the operating system and should not be used by non-Windows services. Instead, developers should implement their own service hosting programs.
