NXservice preventing scheduled shut down task?

[SaranWrap]

I just came across NoMachine and installed it on my media server on my LAN. (Wow, where have you been all my life!)

Other than this Windows 10 Pro, version current media server having an Internet connection, it does NOT have any outside connections, no remote access, etc.

Since the installation of NoMachine two days ago, I have found that my daily 10:00pm shutdown task is not completing. This is not the end of the world, but it does help with my electric bill.

I would make a poorly educated guess that the NXservice doesn’t want the task shutting down the computer, which of course would prevent remote access. I have tried and failed to find a way to assure NoMachine that this is an acceptable function and that it should be allowed.

I’m not completely challenged by computers and have heard of Google. That having been said, I’m a bit stumped and unsure how to proceed. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

thank you for your post.

NoMachine prevents a shutdown/sleep only when the session is active. Can you please try without an active session?

That’s the one thing that I managed to NOT say, I guess. The computer itself was/is running, but nothing was connected to it that I am aware of – there should not have been an active session unless there is something in the computer install that causes NoMachine’s service to constantly watch for a connection?

I can see that being the case, but can’t find a setting related to it.
