Second user session not opening if Windows was not closed properly

Post by Michoko » Tue Aug 01, 2023 3:41 pm

Hi,

I really love Aster, this is a fantastic piece of software, thank you!

I have one issue with it though. I have two terminals configured (let's say User1 and User2). Both open their sessions automatically at startup. Everything works fine, except when Windows quit unexpectedly (with a crash, for example). In that case, next time I boot my PC, User1's session will open, but User2's session won't (I only get a black screen).

I have to reboot the PC another time to fix this. Problem is that User1 is configured on a virtual display, so it's pretty complicated to access it to make the PC reboot from this session. My monitors are configured to be used with User2, but since the session doesn't start, I can't reboot the PC from there. I have to use a remote access software to access User1's session and reboot the PC.

Do you think it could be possible to fix this problem, and that both sessions restart normally if the PC crashes or is not shut down properly?

Thank you!

My PC:
Windows 10 22H2
I7-12700K
32 GB RAM
RTX 4070

This is done for security purposes, to prevent possible cyclic reboots when the PC is incorrectly turned off.
You can disable the check using the IgnoreLS setting

Changing the setting seems to have fixed the issue. Thank you so much for your quick support!
