Start up WD with admin privileges

Yes, it does.

I suppose there are three ways of shutting down WD:

  1. Save and Exit - WD start up works
  2. Close e.g. with Windows cross at top right of window (which is presumably what happens if Windows is Shut down or Restarts after an update) - WD start up doesn’t seem to work
  3. Just switching the machine off, which happens with a power cut - WD start up does what? (I haven’t tried this.)

It may be that this behaviour is connected to my USB extender. I hope to be able to do away with that soon and connect the console direct to the computer USB port.
