As @FeigMan said you must've used the .msi installer. It automagically registers a windows service which starts instantly after the installation.

I was getting below error:

[15052] 10 Apr 14:40:14.601 # Creating Server TCP listening socket *:6379: listen: Unknown error

If service is already running you will get above error.
As per need you can restart service by below commands:

redis-server --service-stop
redis-server --service-start
