When we restart the server we expect VC to automatically start working once powered up, but it requires user intervention to click through the VC pop-up messages before working again. Is there a way to safely shutdown the application before restarting or preventing those pop-ups from appearing? We have to restart the server due to Windows Server Patching which is a monthly process that happens at night.

What kind of popups? The service is a WIndows service with no user interaction. Maybe you are talking about the VC Tray client?

After a restart we always get these 2 alerts. 1) Visual Cron Client stopped working. 2) VCTray stopped working.

Which version are you running?

Version 8.4.1

What if you just restart the VisualCron Service - do you get exact same crash message?

When we restart the service on the server we get the below message.

You should check your Windows Event Log for more detailed information about the crash.

This is normal error as the Connection is aborted. I do not think this is a problem. We do not try to auto connect but leave the choice to the end user if he wants to connect again (and displaying the error).

Is there a way to bypass this behavior so when we restart the VC Server it auto starts the application without user intervention?

At the moment no. The VC Tray will auto-connect but the Client will not. I will move this topic to Feature requests.
