Open to Notification Center

Post by KE5BM »

In Windows 10, is it/would it be possible to have the engine minimize to the notification center as opposed to staying open as a normal program in the taskbar? Much like Cumulus 1 could be set to open on Windows startup but open to "the tray."

I hadn't thought to try that. I've never attempted to install an app as a service so I'll look into it.

A good starting point is the Cumulus MX documentation: https://cumuluswiki.org/a/MX_on_Windows ... _to_run_MX

Well, I can safely say that this was a task I had never done before so at the very least I learned something. Got it running as a service after learning a little bit about how to use PowerShell. Thank you for the assistance!
