Adjust parameters per your needs.
For version 2.1.8 and 2.3.12, neo4j running as a Windows Service has fatal fault for any Production use, DO NOT use for production.
neo4j is a Java process, in order to run as a Windows Service, it has another Wrapper which was registered as a Windows Service, but when you do normal operations on Windows e.g. Stop-Service Neo4j-Server or Restart-Service Neo4j-Server, although the Wrapper could get the Stop signal, it doesn't communicate that to the neo4j Java process, therefore the database engine has no chance to run a shutdown process as shown below:

Without a Clean shutdown, even it won't break the database integrity (a recovery process will run the next time you start the neo4j), there is chance to lose data.
We need to send SIGINT to the neo4j Java process.

We made a simple script to do this which you can download here: https://coderobin.blob.core.windows.net/public/tools/Kill-Process.ps1
Running this powershell script should allow you to Clean shutdown the neo4j.
