Start with Windows

Post by lightingcloud »

I noticed that for the last few days UMS didn't start on boot, but I thought it was just a problem with che configuration: in fact I found the "start with Windows" unchecked. Then I checked it, rebooted and... UMS didn't start, again. I found this error in the log
06-21 12:58:35 An error occurred while trying to make UMS start automatically with Windows
here's the trace.

IDK if this started when I uninstalled 4.0.0-a1 and installed 3.6.3, but it may be.

What could I do to solve?

If you could isolate it down to which version for us it would help in seeing where it started.

Edit: Not much in your debug log, i'll do a few tests myself and see if i can figure something out

Lightningcloud, the setting has to be put on whilst UMS is put into "Run this program as Administrator" mode. It only needs to be done once, when you enable the setting.
UMS is normally located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Universal Media Server right click on the UMS.exe file and select "Run as Administrator".
Select the "Start Automaticly with Windows" and save the config. Hopefully it launches with windows (it should, it did it for me)

Ok, thanks a lot. Anyway it's 3.6.3 :)

EDIT: it worked! :)
