Product Name/Version: AMP v2.4.8 built 29/01/2024 18:40

Problem Description:

Setup AMP to handle my Palworld server a few days ago, it’s been working great! Today, my desktop restarted on its own, and ever since I got back into the system it gives me “127.0.0.1 refused to connect”
Cannot connect to my Management Panel after twice reproducing steps found here:

Something not working on Windows? Try the following:

Windows has a habit of making life difficult for AMP by ignoring its requests to not cache certain AMP components, meaning that things can often get a little rocky after an update. If this happens to you - go through the following steps: Follow these steps in the exact order given, do not skip any steps, Stop AMP fully by running ampinstmgr stopall in a new command prompt. Use Task Manager to make sure all AMP.exe and AMPService.exe processes are stopped. Download a fresh copy of AMPSetup.m…

Steps to reproduce:

• Step 1: Have server running on desktop
• Step 2: Desktop resets to update
• Step 3: AMP is now broken and cannot be accessed

Actions taken to resolve so far:
Listed it above but the only support I have found on this issue is redirecting me back to the same article, which I have taken steps to solve my problem using it.

First thing, go to the Start Menu and type services.msc. set the AMP service to Automatic (delayed) for the start mode. Then try rebooting again.

Edit 2: Changing from Automatic to Automatic (Delayed) + Rebooting was successful. After sevaeral minutes of leaving the window open with the bad connection, it eventually connected opening my Management Panel. Thank you!

Edit: I lied, I remoted into the wrong desktop to search services while I was out. Now that I’m back home, I’ve located AMP in the services and changed it from Automatic to Automatic (Delayed). I’ll let you know if this was successful

I’m going to assume the service outright names ‘AMP’ in the service Name, which I do not see at all in my services list. I’m going to try uninstalling the program completely and reinstalling it, since the aforementioned post steps were unsuccessful.

I have the same problem on my HTPC, with AMP not connecting after reboot. It is Windows 10 V22H2 like yours. I will try this fix out. No issues with my Windows 11 PC with connecting to the web interface after reboot.
