I'm running Cumulus v1.9.3 (1059) on my Windows 8 PC with no issues, but I would like to get it to automatically start up after a PC reboot. I was away this weekend and without weather info due to a power outage the day I left. I have tried using the task scheduler, but for some reason it does not work. Has anyone else been able to get it to work who can give me a hand?
Thanks

Re: Automatic Start-up in Windows 8
Does putting it in the startup folder not work? I have a number of programs on my Windows 8 PC which start automatically that way. Haven't tried Cumulus, admittedly.

hi
I use start up delay from r2 studios to start cumulus as well as other programs. as you can delay when they start it is handy to make sure your connected to the internet. check out there site http://www.r2.com.au/ it might be what your after.

I guess I was just trying to get too fancy. I put Cumulus in the startup folder and that works just fine.
Thanks, Steve, as always for your amazing support and for Cumulus!
