Windows: Auto start PM2 and node apps

At a Windows AWS server i have a NODE app and i'm using PM2 to launch the app

I have tried the NPMs: "pm2-windows-startup" and "pm2-windows-service"

But after i restart my AWS instance and run

PM2 ls

No node app shows up in the list...

I followed the instructions ...

1. Installed the NPM (So PM2 auto start after reboot)
2. PM2 start myApp.js --name mySuperApp
3. PM2 save
4. Reboot
5. PM2 ls --> no running node apps? :-(

The PM2 logs dont contain any thing...

I have not added any ENV variables explicit (when i tried PM2 could not start any more - so i created a fresh AWS windows instance and installed every thing from scratch again...)

PM2 is located the default place (i have not changed any paths)

C:\Users\Administrator\.pm2

My PM2 file contains:
