I was able to get this working by using NSSM (https://nssm.cc/) and running the metabase jar file from there.
Setup the PATH to be that of java.exe, provide the arguments (-jar metabase.jar) and make sure your startup location is the folder you have the jar file.
To access it from other machines, make sure you have the required port (by default 3000) excluded.
It works as expected for me.
