TRIGGERcmd not starting at boot

Ivan Kuler

@Russ ... Same issue here. Seems to have a incompatibility with a app from MS at the Store (Phone).

Russ

@Ivan-Kuler and @hdegenaro, I think it is a bug, but it's difficult for me to fix because the bug doesn't happen for me. For me, on all of my computers, it always starts up automatically when I log in. If I could see the bug myself, I could probably fix it.

Ivan Kuler

@Russ for me no worries at all... but happen in 2 of my computer already.
The workaround to use a batch (in my case a Ahk script compiled in Exe file works..

Meanwhile, I’m seeking to figure out is is a incompatible with a process running... the App Your Phone from MS Store.

Keep you aware..

Br,

Russ

Thanks @Ivan-Kuler.

@Russ I just wanted to check in again to say that I'm noticing that the .bat workaround is not working for me every time lately... have you tried to dig into this? I can provide you troubleshooting info if you need it.

Russ

@TheConfax, honestly I forgot about it, but I'd like to solve it if I can.

I wonder if the problem is specific to certain non-english versions of Windows 10. Are you running an Italian version of Windows 10?

I'm confident I can solve it if I can reproduce the problem. I'd like to create a virtual machine running Windows 10 with the Italian version (if that's what you're running). I tried installing an additional language on my Windows, but that didn't show me the problem.

Right now I'm downloading an Italian version of Windows 10 ISO using the media creation tool I downloaded from here:
https://www.microsoft.com/it-it/software-download/windows10

@Russ Yes, I'm running Win10 Home in Italian, probably the Brazilian guy had one in Portuguese... could be that, let us know

Russ

@TheConfax, bad news. It worked fine for me. I installed the TRIGGERcmd agent and rebooted my Italian version of Windows 10 and it automatically started up.

@Russ To be honest is not a constant thing, without the fix it starts like 1 out of 10 attempts, with the .bat fix it starts like 19 out of 20 attempts.

Try rebooting some times, if unsuccesful in breaking it, try shutting down and powering on the virtual machine some times, both with and without fast startup enabled.

Russ

@TheConfax, I tried rebooting the VM many times and I have not seen the problem.

I did an experiment though - I disconnected the VM from the Internet, then quit and re-launched the TRIGGERcmd agent, and I found that it automatically quit because it couldn't connect to the server.

I wonder if that's what's happening to you. Is it possible your TRIGGERcmd agent is launching before your computer is connected to the Internet during boot?

@Russ Yes, it is very much possible, because my Wi-Fi card connects only after user login.
In my .bat fix i included a 30 second delay, that could explain why even that sometimes is not working.
You could try implementing a little loop at boot checking for network more than one time and it should be fixed ^^

Russ

@TheConfax, ok, yea I think I can fix this.

Thank you @Russ !
Let me know when it's done and thanks again for the very useful application!

Russ

@TheConfax, I fixed it. Please update your agent. Now it will retry every 10 seconds if there's no Internet. I tested by rebooting the VM while it was disconnected from the network, then I enabled the network a while after the agent started. It connected within 10 seconds.

@Russ Thanks for the fix! I will test it during the next days and I'll let you know if it hangs again, hopefully should be ok.

I'm from Brazil and I have the same problem, the fix doesn't work here. If anyone knows the fix about the .exe (.bat file in the background doesnt appearing the black box of CMD) help me please.

@Paulo-Filho Try uninstalling and removing the .bat fix, then reinstall the latest version and make sure it is in the automatic run folder.
It is your PC connected to the internet at launch?

@Russ For me it never broke up to now

Paulo Filho

@TheConfax Yes, its connected at launch. The .bat fix finally worked here, now how i can transform in a .exe to not show the cmd in the intro?

@Paulo-Filho You can use any exe-bat converter. But Russ updated the software, now it should work even without the bat fix

@Russ i have a startup problem on windows 10, if i set triggercmd to launch as administrator, it won't launch at window startup, you know why? thanks for help
