well with windows, you'll need to use a bat file like the one shown in the tutorials here or use something like serverdoc or fire daemon

@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
echo (%time%) WARNING: srcds closed or crashed, restarting.
goto srcds

Replace start command line with your command line it should be in your srcds shortcut target if u set your serrver up that way also you have to run the batfile aswell as the serever

SAVE THIS AS C:\srcds\srcds.bat in notepad add switch2015 if u need more help

F.Y.I since your using windows make sure you have the error reporter diolog not to appear on that application other wise when your not home and your sever crashes it won't start back up until you hit don't send.

I had that prop a couple of times.
