Not showing on Logon-Screen

Unfortunately, I have the same problem with Windows 11: after a silent installation, the icon doesn't appear on the lock screen—not even after a restart. The XML configuration includes `<Logon>True</Logon>`, yet the issue persists. What should I do? I have to log into Windows, open the NetSetMan Pro settings, and close them without changing anything; only then does the NetSetMan icon appear on the lock screen. This is a real hassle when setting up multiple systems, as I have to log in, open the settings, and exit on every single machine.

Re: Not showing on Logon-Screen

The topic you have originally replied to is almost 10 years old with an old NetSetMan version and a different Windows version, so it has most likely nothing to do with your current issue. We have therefore extracted this as a new topic.

First of all, please provide the basic details for your constellation:

• NetSetMan version

• Exact Windows 11 version, incl. build number

According to your description you are modifying the settings file manually and including it with an automated installation. A lot of aspects could theoretically go wrong here, so it is difficult for us to analyze that.
Could you please do a normal installation, then open the program settings and enable the Logon feature manually? Then retry again (with different constellations: fresh reboot and logging off). Please notice that shutting down and starting the PC does NOT actually reboot the system. In the latest version a shutdown is actually a special kind of standby which does not reset any cached information. Please do an actual reboot instead.

Please only provide information for versions that you have actually tested. If you have tested multiple versions, that's definitely helpful, but your statement is too general because it indicates that you have tested all 14 different 5.x releases for this specific issue. Most importantly we would like to know whether you are using the latest version 5.4.0 and are experiencing this issue with it. Please verify and confirm.

In our previous comment we have provided additional details and requested for a normal installation and some specific testing steps. You might have missed that, so please re-read our previous comment. Thank you.
