In my understanding, opening Neo4j Desktop is equivalent to starting a server. However, when I check this with invoke-neo4j status it says Neo4j is not running. Do you know why is that?
This is the verbose output:

My goal is to autostart a database and use Cypher in terminal.
Opening Neo4j Desktop is NOT equivalent to starting a server. You simply open a user interface and it requires an active connection to a running neo4j database.
For an analogy, if you open ithe door of your car and sit on the driver seat you still need to start your engine so that it will move.
