[Solved] Opens my web browser on Windows Startup?

Post by Memem »

I imagine I'm missing a setting. I haven't had to set this up since 2017, lol and just got a new PC and trying to get it sussed out. UMS works great, but each time I restart my PC, it opens my web browser to show me the "Detected Media Renderers".
Can I shut this off or change it?

There is a setting to turn off launching the web interface on startup.
The button with 3 lines on the top right of the page opens up the menu where you can change the settings.

I spoke too soon; I also assumed that would fix the issue, it sounds right...
I have unchecked that open GUI, but UMS still opens, but now it opens my browser to my Series page...

That should have done it. Did you remember to save?

You could also confim the setting by looking at C:\ProgramData\UMS\UMS.conf in a text editor and make sure this is set to false

Code: Select all

web_gui_on_start=false

That was it, I thought I'd saved, but I guess I did not.
Thank you, once again. You've saved my sanity.
