Windows service start error 1053 : The service did not respond to the start or control request in timely fashion while starting simple worker service template

Describe the bug

Problem occurs after publishing and creating simple worker service template. Windows service gives Error 1053 : The service did not respond to the start or control request in timely fashion when starting service. Problem occurs only if publishing with target WinX86,WinX64 modes. Problem does no occur if publishing made using Portable mode. I have not tried with linux deamons

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Using simple worker service template for .net core 3.0.0
2. It also occurs after adding Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.WindowsServices:3.0.0
3. Publish using target mode either winx64 or winx86
4. register service using sc create command. For instance sc.exe create WorkerService3 binPath=C:\Users\cahit.beyaz\source\repos\WorkerService1\WorkerService1\bin\Release\netcoreapp3.0\publish\WorkerService1.exe

Expected behavior

Windows service should start service normally for both targetruntime portable, x86,x64 when using simple Worker Service Template

@gerardo-lijs adding <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.WindowsServices" Version="3.0.0" /> package

and changing host builder as public static IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder(string[] args) => Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args) .ConfigureLogging((hostingContext,config) => { config.AddLog4Net(); }) .UseWindowsService() .ConfigureServices((hostContext, services) => { services.AddHostedService<Worker>(); });

solves the issue. We can close the issue. I will after you verify.
