Hello quick question, i'm following the tutorial to create my private server and i've modified my authserver.conf and worldserver.conf files. Do i have to rename it with .dist at the end and put them back in configs file ?

make copies of the .dist versions. remove the .dist ending from the copies, and edit those.

depends what folder you took them from. if you dug them out of the source files that would be the wrong place to put them back in, but if you took them from the build directory's config folder then yes you put them back in there

The dist files you need to copy being the auth or world or the modules are always the ones in the sub-folders where you compiled to (for the case of windows).
\smth\bin\RelWithDebInfo\configs
- Auth and Wold configs
\smth\bin\RelWithDebInfo\configs\modules
- Whaterver module config

generally, yes. they are programs running and if you close them they stop running. There are ways to have them running as detached processes but i haven't the foggiest what options or methods are available with windows
