I have Windows 11 Pro v22H2 and LKG Bridge 2.0.9 installed successfully and uninstalled my LKG Bridge 2.0.6 successfully. After a reboot or cold start, LKG Bridge doesn't start up automatically and run in my systray like the older bridge used to. I have to manually start bridge before using LKG Studio.
#Looking Glass Bridge not starting with Windows 11

Logging in as a standard user, LKG Bridge doesn't startup automatically in Win11 but logging in as an administrator, LKG Bridge starts up.

Maybe LKG Bridge needs to be started as a system service? 🤷🏻♂️

That is what it should be doing, we handle that in a cross platform way and it’s possible windows changed that method at some point, it is on our list of things to look at

This was fixed in 2.1! https://lookingglassfactory.com/software/looking-glass-bridge

Hi Bryan, I installed v2.1 and had it remove my v2.0.9. I ran Bridge from C:\Program Files\Looking Glass\Looking Glass Bridge 2.1.0 once and it's in the systray and sees my LKG. I rebooted to see if it will auto start the bridge v2.1 and it did not. Remember that I am logging in as a Standard User and not an Admin.

interesting, this should be fixed now
@tiny mulch do you have any recommendations on what to check here?
@hazy glacier it's possible there may be some windows settings interfering with startup applications on your end

I think I figured it out. When I install LKG Bridge as a standard user, I need to provide an admin account to install. After the install, it puts a shortcut in shell:startup for the admin account but not the user account., since I installed it from there. That's why when I login to Admin, LKG bridge starts up.I think the installer should give you the option to install for only this user or all users.
