Runtime Manager

Cause

Autologin mode being disabled is necessary in order to have the service account run the Runtime Manager. With autologin mode disabled, a login form is generated which the service cannot enter the credentials for. This causes the system to hang and login to be aborted.

Resolution

Reference the [Client]AutoLoginMode parameter to make the best decision for how to start the Runtime Manager. If Power Operation is to be run in service mode, it is best to run in AutoLogin Mode.
