Recently I updated ADS and game instances to the latest versions however, ADS would fail to launch. ADS was installed as a service on Windows 10.
I decided to uninstall everything and reinstall. I downloaded the AMP instance manager from the website, however it seems the same problem persists. The only way for me to launch ADS is not to have it installed as a service.. but that means that I am unable to start it, nor game instances at pc boot automatically...
Have you checked ADSs log files?

It seems that every time I try to install it as a service, I do not find any entry in the services list.
Once I install it as a service, I can not start ADS. I must uninstall it as a service in order to launch it. And, then I cannot close the AMP instance manager either or it will close the ADS and instances...
Check the logs for the instance manager after trying to install the service. You can find them in %localappdata%\CubeCoders\AMP\InstanceManager

This is the log from that. I can 'install' the service, but it can't be launched. I don't think it is installing properly.
Have you rebooted? Windows services don't release their ports when stopped.
I did. In the past I thought I could find the service in the services list. I was pretty sure I could start and stop it that way. But I can’t find it in there now.
I tested installing on my laptop, and it seems to work just fine.
I am still unable to get this to work properly on the other computer though. I am at a loss for what is causing this.
So the way I am currently managing this is that I am running a Windows task scheduler to run the ADS AMP.exe file after computer start. Combined with ADS's ability to autostart instances this is a work around. However this isn't the solution to the issue - and I suspect that it doesn't shut down instances nicely as ADS could do on its own during computer shutdown.
Any thoughts as to how to fix the AMP service? Clearly it works ok on other systems but something has stopped working on my system.
Try this:
ampinstmgr repair then ampinstmgr quickstartI followed the instructions as you laid out, but it was unable to create additional instances afterward. This was in the console:
Failed to unpack AMP.
UnauthorizedAccessException

I uninstalled and reinstalled AMP in its entirety and things seem to work now... but this is a problem...
All of this happened again recently after I reinstalled the computer, installed 1.9.9.9, then later upgraded the instances and then manager application to 1.9.9.10... I am concerned that this may happen ever time the applications may need to be upgraded...
