Folding Forum

I saw in the manual that in previous version one could install Fah for all Windows users. It seems that option has disappeared (in the internet I found the option was removed around version 7.4.8).

What can I do to install Fah for all users, so it will start automatically? Btw, some of the users are standard users, not admins.

When I tried to install Fah on 2 Windows accounts, the second installation uninstalled the first one. I also tried the non-gui version, but in that case the gpu is not used (so it's far from ideal).

Thank you for help.

try this approach

The Windows version of FAHClient cannot be used for "all users"

If you wish to fold with your CPU (only) you can install it as a Windows Service. Then anybody can open FAHControl or Web Control.

Microsoft limits folding on a GPU to the one user that's logged on the the desktop as he owns the GPU device.
If you wish to fold with a supported GPU, log on to the user who will be displaying the desktop. Perform the installation from there and you will be asked for permission to complete the installation.
