Starting an application regardless of user logged on

[Stoner81]

Hey peeps,

My Gen10 is running Server 2016 and I have HubiC running to upload all my media to the cloud, the problem is that Hubic requires a user to be logged in to the server otherwise it doesn't run. Nobody in our house touches the server at all except me so if this can't be done then no biggie I guess but it would be nice if I could have HubiC run in the Admin account (where is was installed) and do it's thing without having to be logged in all the time.

Thanks in advance folks!

You could try setting up a scheduled task set to run when the computer starts. Or make it automatically log in: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autologon

I ended up doing this with my Plex server. It's also the main desktop in the house but didn't want to run on a used account.

Logs on automatically when the computer boots but then logs out immediately on log on with a scheduled task.

+1 for that, never have to worry about the gf trying to login to try making it work

Why wouldn't you create a service from the EXE and allow it to be interactive within the console?

Thanks for the help folks, I was mostly worried about leaving the server permanently logged in more than anything but if that's not an issue then great. I will take a look at the suggestions above though
