Run shows on Win 10 Desktop, multi-user

[rwokano]

Hi all,

   I have been using my LOR equipment for a few years, normally on a dedicated laptop.  I have moved the software to our windows 10 desktop and it works.  The issue I am having is the schedule does not run if I am not logged on.  Even when my account is logged in but locked because someone else is using the computer the show does not run.  Is there a way to have the control panel run as a service, or something similar under the system account so the show works so long as the computer is powered on?

I am using version 4.3.14.

 

Thanks for any help / ideas!

Hi Rob -

I've been using LOR for about 10 years now, and also did a quick scan of the internet in case I missed something over the years... and I don't believe that LOR can be run as a service. Maybe someone smarter than I am can chime in with a different answer though

Why don't you just keep others from using the computer during show hours?

Can you run using an admin account?   I would think that it would run whether you were logged in or not.  I would try opening LOR as administrator (you probably know this but you right click and select "Run as administrator")

kk6ou,

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing...

Thanks guys,

   Not sure what is happening at this point.   Today, they show ran with no problem with no one logged in including myself.     I do have admin rights on the box, and I set LOR up to start at Windows start so maybe that did it.  Have to wait and see what happens tomorrow.

 

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it!
