What Windows program can update a text file dynamically?

The question is that there is a server with a certain service that is running on linux. And there are logs of this service, of course. So, using tail -f *name_of_log* through the terminal, you can easily track changes in this log without resorting to constant reopening of the file, etc.
The same service is deployed under Windows, and it is problematic to do it there in the same way. You can open the log in NotePad ++, but there you have to activate the program window every time and affirmatively click on the offer to update the changes that were made to the file by a third-party application. Is there any Windows program that behaves like tail -f in a Linux terminal?
