Title: possible bug with xSchedule (possibly caused by Win 10 update)
Post by: ozaz on June 17, 2017, 10:04:49 PM

xSchedule (x64) keeps freezing as soon as I try to Add Playlist or Add Advanced Playlist; have to use Task Manager to kill program.

Has only occurred recently.

Issue occurs on xSchedule V 2017.13 to 2017.16 (possibly older haven't checked). I suspect issue has been caused by recent update to Window 10. Windows update history, 3 updates on 14/06/2017 - Win 10 V 1703 for x64

Has anyone else had this issue? Is there something else I could do to fix issue? if it's a 'bug' I'm happy to wait till someone gets a chance to fix it.

I suspect what is happening is that xschedule is opening those dialogs on a non existent screen which it has remembered from a prior use. A couple of solutions:

1. plug in the monitor to get them back.
2. run xSchedule.exe with the /w command line switch. On windows run cmd.exe and type this command
     "c:\program files\xlights\xschedule.exe" /w

Thanks Keith
running with the command line switch fixed it
