Issue with Windows Fast User Switching

Issue #342 resolved
Former user created an issue

After switching users (without logging out), and then switching back to the first user, the Serviio console will be displayed (when there is no reason for it to be).

This has affected versions of Serviio I have used up to the current version (0.5.2).

Seen on Windows 7.

    1. Start computer 2. Log on 3. Go to Start, switch user. Pick a user that isn't logged in. 4. Log out. 5. Switch back to original user.

    Serviio console will now have opened itself.

    Probably you do not allow for separate instances per-user and logging in as the second user activates the first instance when the process is launched on the second user.

    The console starts after startup via the Start menu. Can you confirm it's there only for one (the original) user? The console only enables a single instance running on a PC and when a user tries to run it again it maximizes the currently running instance window. Which is probably what's happening.

    Just need to work out what and when is trying to execute the console executable.

    Hello,

    It is in the start menu but in the all users group (%allusersprofile%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup), so it will start when any user logs in. Verified on a clean install. Anyway the solution is to fix the console, not move the start-up item. I should be able to start a new instance if I am logged in as a second user.
