FAHClient - Windows 10 - not starting automatically

Post by cube1us »

When I first installed FAH version 7.5.1, all seemed well.

However, after rebooting, it does not start automatically when I log in (though I would swear that I chose that as the option when I did the install), nor do I see and obvious shortcut to set that up. Didn't see anything specifically related to this in the FAQ.

I did a registry search for fahclient, which came up empty (aside from places like Recent file lists, compatibility lists, application paths, Uninstall, and the like).

When I start it from a command prompt, it seems OK - though sometimes it seems to stop as though I had done a Ctrl+S, even though I did not - but entering Ctrl-Q tends to break it loose (albeit with some timeouts). Even when it is running, I find that the console output stops - and I get more if I enter Ctrl+Q

Hints/tips/"D'oh" pointers greatly appreciated.

I have not had that issue, I always use the default install myself so do not choose any options.

If worst comes to worst Uninstall including data and reinstall as simple as you can

This is the start command i have in Windows:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\FAHClient\HideConsole.exe" C:\Program Files (x86)\FAHClient\FAHClient.exe

Try to run that in command line to see if the FAHclient icon shows up in Windows tray icons next to the clock.

If that works then you can create a link to that command in Windows Startup folder.
