Problem with Win 8.1 startup
#1
Mauro and others, I have a Win 8.1 laptop that I have loaded this time sync program onto.
I also have another PC that I built that runs Win 7 Pro with this time sync program.
The Win 7 PC when it boots up runs this program on start up as normal and the icon
shows in the system tray and syncs on start up.
The problem is with the 8.1 64 bit laptop, upon start up the program will not run.
I have installed it via run as administrator, the box is checked, start on windows start up
and start on system tray and sync on start up.
I created a scheduled task to have it run at start up, but even that task it will not run at start up.
I have the latest version 1.7.
In Kaspersky it is listed as trusted in the programs manager and everything is green to run.
The only way to run it is manually clicking on the shortcut, when this happens the user account control
pops up with yes or no, clicking yes runs the program. I also have copied and placed the .exe time sync
into the start up folder to try and have it run at start up, but no go.
In the BktTimeSync Properties Security tab, every group or users has permissions to allow, checked
in every category except for Special permissions.
In task manager Start up tab, the status is Enabled.
At this point, what is missing? Is it being blocked? When it runs it syncs just fine.
I have the Windows Time Sync disabled to avoid conflict as I have done on the Win 7 PC.
I disabled the user account control and did a restart but again no go to run this program on start up.

Has anyone had this problem on a Win 8.1 system?

Bruce
