Error at startup (non-blocking)

[InteXX]

I encountered this error at Windows signin today:

With approximately three seconds elapsing between lines 8 & 10, this appears to be an I/O issue. At Windows signin everything is colliding with everything else as they all rush headlong to be first out of the subway station. WAT/WA ran fine after it all settled down. Here's that log:

For sure it's not a show-stopper. If anything, it's an extremely minor inconvenience. But if I'm correct, perhaps a bit longer wait for results might mitigate the issue?

I am having this problem too since upgrading to 1.60. Error only occurs when autostarting while windows is booting up. My log looks like this:

True i saw the same thing happening. I need to increase the waittime in the line: auto result = WaitForInputIdle(pi.hProcess, 2000);

This will be included in the next version

@D4koon

Perhaps 3000?

[D4koon]

yes something like that

@D4koon

At first I imagined it being configurable, but upon some reflection that seemed a bit much. It's not worth the extra effort.

[igor-werry]

my workaround is to kill 'whatsapptray.exe' from task manager, leaving running the 'whatsapp.exe' and starting the 'whatsapptray.exe' again. :)

[D4koon]

Try this version, i increased the timeout from 2 seconds to 8 seconds WhatsappTrayV1.6.2.1.zip

Btw. @igor-werry WhatsappTray should now kill the old instance when restarting it ;)

[InteXX]

@D4koon

The longer timeout seems to be working. Thank you.

WhatsappTray should now kill the old instance when restarting it

Ah, good. That was causing trouble.
