Program does not detect keyboard when running as a task in Task Scheduler #55

Title pretty much explains it. The program works fine when started normally by double-clicking the exe, but scheduling the exe as a task in windows Task Scheduler opens the program but leaves the program unable to detect devices.

That sounds like your execution directory in the action isn't correctly set and it's not able to find the SDK-dlls or it's started too early - without the vendor software running it won't detect devices.

You were correct, by setting execution directory correctly to the folder containing all the relevant files everything worked just fine, my bad. Thanks!

The reason why i wanted to schedule this program was that simply adding a shortcut to the executable in the startup folder just made the program start earlier than the iCUE software. With a task, a delay can be set for 1 or 2 minutes.
