Windows 10 problems

 

Some users have reported problems under windows 10 with the task.

I do not yet understand why win 10 is diffrent than other operating systems in the way task the are handled. Micrisoft gives no hints and says its the same process. So here are some hints on trying to fix this problem.


First be sure that task actualy works everytime you call it. By running run.bat
You should see the process in real time.
For CWOP it will say logon then report the server then show a + when data is sent and then say ok.

If it doesnt do this then I need to know what error it displays on screen and in the error logs.


Once that is working for you every time not counting time limits you can work on the task.


Basicaly you call the task by calling the script task-run.vbs, This script turns off the onscreen display and makes sure only 1 copy is running.
I have created an alternate way to call the script with chp.exe which just turns off the display and runs the program.
So if the vbs script doesnt work try the alternate chp.exe
If chp doesnt work you can try calling the script direct from the task manager mmpws.exe



Also look at your log for this process in the task manager does it say it ran or does it give a error? Is it still running?
If its still running set a time limit on the process in task manager.
example (stop the task if it runs more than 10 mins)



I need reports back from windows 10 users as to what problems you are having. And how you fixed it.

Please contact me to let me know. I will be adding a debug script.

Update v4.66 now includes tries to build the task under your username and you will need to enter your password.

It looks like the problem is something to do with permissions. Your going to have to set your permissions manualy as the installer cant do that in windows 10.

And the instructions provided by microsoft to create a task in windows 10 dont work. I cant debug win10 for microsoft will have to wait till someone has a fix for creating a win 10 task.
