Automatic startup setting for Panel Server
This section explains how to set up Panel Server to start automatically. In order to start and run Panel Server automatically, you must first configure the startup settings for the Panel Server application itself. Next, in the Windows OS settings of the PC running Panel Server, set it up so that Panel Server runs automatically when you log in to Windows. Then, by setting it up so that Windows login occurs automatically when the PC starts up, you will be able to start the server application automatically just by starting up the PC running Panel Server.
The details of each are explained below.

Automatically start Panel Server when Windows logs in
There are two ways to automatically start Panel Server when you log in to Windows: registering a Panel Server shortcut in the startup folder, or using the Windows Task Scheduler.
Either method will allow automatic startup, but if for some special reason you need to start Panel Server with administrator privileges, you will need to run it from the Task Scheduler.
The following explains how to set up each option.
Automatic startup using the Startup folder
Windows This is how to register a Panel Server shortcut to the OS startup. Here, we will use Windows 11 as an example.
1.Right-click the window icon on the taskbar and select "Run...". In the execution screen that appears, enter "shell:startup" and click the "OK" button.

2.The Startup folder will be displayed, so right-click inside the folder to display the menu and select "New - Shortcut". This will display the shortcut creation screen. Click the "Browse" button under "Enter the location of the item" and select the Panel Server executable file in the installation folder to create a shortcut.

With the above, when the user currently logged in to the Windows OS logs in, Panel Server will be started automatically.

To operate Panel Server so that it starts automatically when the PC is started, you must set Windows to log in automatically. The method for setting up automatic login for Windows varies depending on the version of Windows, so please set it appropriately for the version of the Windows OS you are using. Also, in the security options of the Task Scheduler properties, be sure to specify the user account that will log in with the automatic login setting as the "User account to use when executing the task." |
|
If "Stop task after" is checked, the task will automatically end after the specified time (3 days by default) after launch. This may cause the Panel Server application to be terminated unexpectedly, so be sure to uncheck it. |
