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.
