How to make parsec not auto-install everytime VM is started? #394

Closed TreeOfSelf closed 3 months ago

Parsec is trash compared to open-source alternative SunShine/Moonlight. If you insist on having it install with the VM, at least don't have it so it auto installs itself every time the VM is booted.

This is a Parsec dev that made this repo, so it makes sense. That said - it's a scheduled task I believe. If you disable it there it should stop autoinstalling.

Thanks - It seems deleting the tasks does not work, it will just re-add them. Disabling them does work.

TreeOfSelf commented 3 months ago

Nah, actually. Even disabling/deleting the tasks it just re-adds them.

I just commented out the lines from the CopyFilesToVM.ps1 and that seems to have worked.

Which lines specifically? I'm trying to check myself but I'll probably break the script.

CopyFilesToVM.ps1

Lines 173-175 I believe are all you need to comment.

I had commented many more than that lol It caused issues after reboot, the Hyper V display adapter would reinstall and reenable every reboot.

I could be wrong, but I think the Hyper V display adapter has more to do with the enhanced viewing session of Hyper V than Easy-GPU-PV. I usually just have the display adapter on to switch to my native resolution, and then disable it after.

Honestly, I'm unsure about this too because for one I have enhanced viewing session entirely disabled, and two I always get stuck back to the Hyper V display adapter default res and refresh rate and I cannot change the refresh rate at all since the ParsecVDD never makes a virtual monitor after the reboot.

image This is what mine looks like, if I disable the Hyper-V Video, then I can't change resolution. I actually just realized I also have enhanced viewing disabled.

SavageTheUnicorn commented 2 months ago

Yeah mine is similar but the monitor shown in display settings when right clicking the desktop reverts to the HyperVMonitor upon reboots and I can't get the ParsecVDA to activate again afterwards ( i can get the vda active with this project; https://github.com/timminator/ParsecVDA-Always-Connected but it still seems to be connecting to the HyperVMonitor rather than the active VDA)

I was missing the lines "host_virtual_monitors = 1" and "host_privacy_mode = 1" in my config.txt under the C:\ProgramData\Parsec folder in the guest machine! I also set the file to Read Only in the properties afterwards. Rebooted and fixed!
