Minor We have GUI tests running which are needed a logged in user and that the jenkins instance is running under this logged in instance. Because no service is running the checkbox "Restart Jenkins when installation is complete and no jobs are running" is not available. So please remove this useless text or provide an alternative text.
Is it possible to integrate an alternative way to restart jenkins?
i.e. provide a path to a batch file which will be executed to start jenkins again, when checkbox "Restart Jenkins when installation is complete and no jobs are running" is checked
or
assign a job which do this, question is here how shutdown can be done
or
would it work when a child node runs as the logged in user and jenkins it self is running as a service?

added a comment - I tried the "interactive" and it seems to work. The PC has disabled UAC, just for future info.

Isn't it then just requesting that you do that…?

added a comment - Since the "interactive" was working is the other stuff optional.
Still open the UX issue that text "Restart Jenkins when installation is complete and no jobs are running" is still shown in case jenkins is not running as service.
Alternative is to provide a way to restart, then showing a checkbox would make sense. see example statements

added a comment - Sorry, but somehow after a few day test, it comes out that some functions behave different. Means "interactive" is no solution.

It may be a separate UX issue

Maybe you want to start from setting an "interactive" flag in the Windows service settings: https://github.com/kohsuke/winsw/blob/master/doc/xmlConfigFile.md#interactive
