Specs - Win11, Ryzen 9900x + 4080 super
- Logging in as domain user which has admin permissions in the OS
I am unsure where the failure is happening but here are my repro steps:
1. Download 8.3.18 amd64 exe
2. Run and go through steps, leaving all defaults (including the checked start at launch)
3. Install completes
4. Firefox opens and shows unconfigured UI
5. Hit Gear, punch in username, team, passkey and click GPU checkbox
6. CPU and GPU begin folding
7. Restart Win11
8. Upon re-logging into windows, FAH does not start up
9. Go to https://v8-3.foldingathome.org/machines which states
Code: Select all
No folding machines found. Login or install...
-> Start Menu -> type folding -> installed app shows up -> click -> nothing happens
-> Desktop shortcut -> double click -> nothing happens
-> Desktop shortcut -> right click -> Open -> nothing happens
Verifications
Is it installed?
- Go to settings -> apps -> Installed apps -> "FAHClient" exists, v8.3.18
Is it configured to launch at Startup?
- Go to settings -> apps -> Startup -> "HideConsole.exe" exists and is "On"
- Go to Task Manager -> Startup apps-> "HideConsole.exe (4)" exists with status "Enabled" -> expand and it shows "Conhost", "FAHClient.exe", "HideConsole.exe" and "WerFault.exe"
At this time, the only way I can get FAHClient to start following a reboot is to reinstall the entire client.
