BUG: Not sure what causes it, but sometimes the Awesome Miner Remote Agent randomly toggles the 'Automatically start when windows starts' option.
FEATURE REQUEST: If the Awesome Miner Remote Agent application is running, don't run another instance (and by extension, another duplicate mining instance).
The issue this comes from is that I have a script set to run various tools and other monitoring software prior to launching the Awesome Miner Remote Agent. With both of the above issues, the Agent would launch preemptively, as well as twice. This wasn't related to any software updates, and would sometimes re-enable itself right after I turned auto-launching off and rebooted the computer, but other times it would stay off. The frequency of this occurring was directly proportional to how likely it was for me to walk out the door. /s
I've not been able to reproduce the autostart issue. If you or anyone else figure out more details about this, please let me know.
I've implemented the change for Remote Agent to enforce a single application instance, to prevent any second instance of the application to start.
Please note that you also have a feature in Awesome Miner where you can delay the autostart of miners. In Options dialog, Advanced section you can for example specify that the Managed Miner autostart shouldn't happen until after 60 seconds for example.
