Configure amp winoff 5 0 1

[vettenut]

Every time my PC boots and Amp WinOff starts I need to click on "Activate". Is there a way to set it up and not need to do this?

dont post your email address unless you want a ton of spam mail

amp winoff is one of the best free softwares i have ever used by the way

go to general options

then auto-reactivate last programmed shut down

you need to also tick load at windows startup except for when using hibernate,lock or suspend

this will activate the same time every day if thats what you are trying to achieve

I checked and all settings are as you suggested. Something else must be wrong

 

[mcnumpty23]

not sure what else to suggest

those settings work fine for me

i did install the program as administrator--but not sure that makes any difference

 

[vettenut]

So did I

have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling it?

 

[vettenut]

Yes I did this.

Hi

All the best Brett

would that help?

doesnt that just allow or prevent a program starting?

as i read it the program autostarts ok its just not applying the shutdown selection automatically

 

[mcnumpty23]

Yes I did this.

if you cant get it to work there are alternative softwares

and you can probably do it in windows task scheduler as well i suppose

 

[vettenut]

I looked at the link you gave me. I see alternatives, When I click on one I see no download abailty.

 

[mcnumpty23]

i right clicked the one i was interested in--told it to open the link in a new window-at the top was a

link to the softwares website


peculiarly left clicking it as you say doesnt do anything

 

[vettenut]

I downloaded and installed Shutdown Scheduler and found it if free for thirty days. If it works well I will pay for it. Thank you.
