Win7 WD doesn't start when Windows does.

With Brian’s help I have solved this problem before with the task scheduler in Win7. Still running Win7 64bit. Apparently the scheduled task expired… Didn’t realize that would happen. I have searched and searched and can’t find the instructions I was given to to build the task to begin with. I am running VER10.37S73. The simple thing would be just to have WD start when Windows does, but it won’t. Even though I have that option check in the setup.

Okay I found the video. I’ll see if I can get another task scheduled that won’t expire!

Task has been rebuilt. WD starts just fine. I did adjust the delay to two minutes as I have a lot of stuff loading at initial start up. All is right with the world and the sun came up again this morning!

Yeah good plan, I delay the launch of WD using Windows Scheduler also to allow the system to fully load.
