NVidia's nView Desktop Manager keeps disabling itself

Writer Sebastian Wright

I'm running the latest version (149.77) of nView Desktop Manager on Windows 10 x64. For reference I have NVidia Quadro P3000 notebook card.

I open the nView Desktop Mananger and Enable. It runs fine for a while, then automatically disables.
This means I need to open the nView Desktop Manager again, then reEnable, for it to begin working again.

The time it runs before disabling varies. I do not notice any trigger action either.

Fortunately, it remembers my settings. But it partially defeats software's the purpose, if I have to keep telling it to start running again.

Does anybody have a workaround to have it re-start automatically?
Or any ideas how to keep it from disabling itself?
I can't imagine that this is the way it is supposed to "work".

I found this question on how to automatically start nView at Windows boot, but unfortunately, the answers there are not very helpful as there is no exe file to start the manager, but it did get me to find the following information.

On my system, nView is started with:
C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe "C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\nview\nvwdmcpl.dll", nViewMain

I found this by:

  1. finding nView Desktop Manager link in my start menu.
  2. right-clicking -> Properties
  3. copy the information from Target
  4. I also notice that Start in has "C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\nview"

I'm hoping that this information can be useful in:
1) somehow telling Windows to start this application when Windows starts
2) writing some ?script? that can keep the process running, or re-Enable it if it automatically Disables.

Obviously, if someone knows why it's automatically disabling, and how to stop that, that would be even better.


*(I'm trying to get nView working, because Windows Virtual Desktop doesn't yet allow for Desktop renaming, and because the right-click menus, and the taskbar UI of nView, is so much better than the Windows implementation.)*
