I want instance to start at boot

Steps taken:

  1. Turn on “start at boot” inside the instance.
  2. Turn on “Autostart instance”
  3. Turn off the server pc through the task scheduler.
  4. Turn on the server PC, and try joining the mincraft server on client PC.

I want the instance to start at boot without needing to log into the server PC. Currently when i log in and check. The instance sits at idle.’

I’m using the task scheduler because I want my server PC to be shut down between 2:00 and 9:00. I use the bios to initiate startup at 9:00. Previously, I used the task scheduler to start the server at startup, but after a Windows update, this stopped working:/

Manage the instance and set the Startup mode setting to start

Sidenote. You must set “startup mode” to “start” for both the program and the instance.

Thanks for the help ThePotatoKing
