title: How to fix SERVICE_PAUSED error on starting nssm server
body: <p>So I need to run a custom server. It worked on other machines, but not on mine (all of them are on Windows).</p>
  
  <p>My input:</p>
  
  <pre><code>nssm start custom-server
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>custom-server: Unexpected status SERVICE_PAUSED in response to START control.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried to re-start it, but got the same message.</p>
