I think for windows, you need to create a shortcut and use the shortcut properties to addswitches like map and maxplayers for your server.
the other way is using cmd.exe and running srcds.exe from there.

srcds.exe -console -game hl2dm -port 27015 -maxplayers <maxplayernumberehere> +map <mapnamehere>

make a .bat file
i had the same prob so i made a .bat file , works good now, im using it with the srcds watch dog, ull find this watch dog in tutorials, my code is like following:


@echo off
cls
echo Protecting srcds from crashes...
echo If you want to close srcds and this script, close the srcds window and type Y depending on your language followed by Enter.
title srcds.com Watchdog
:srcds
echo (%time%) srcds started.
start /wait srcds.exe -console -game cstrike +map de_dust +maxplayers 16 -tickrate 100 -autoupdate -port 27016 -ip 10.36.96.200
echo (%time%) WARNING: srcds closed or crashed, restarting.
goto srcds

I've had the same problems, no luck fixing yet ive tried a shortcut, and a batch file.
