I have a java process that i am wrapping with WinSW.

We can start the service, it goes to state running. Great!
We can stop the service, it goes to the stopped status. Great!

So we leave our service running and use it etc. The service stays up no problem.

But then we come back to the services.msc console and the Service status shows up blank but the service is definitely up in reality. Everything is still responsive.

Seems like winsw service wrapper "loses sync" with the service somehow.

The service logs have no log entries during this time.

What kind of thing would cause the WinSW service to lose track of the running state of the process?
