Hello-
I'm using the Intel Compute stick with licensed Win 8.1 (as provided). I am try to use this in a Digital Signage application.
I want the system to boot, automatically log in, start the application, and run it full screen in the foreground.
I have successfully...
- modified login to automatic using netplwiz
- enabled the client/player application to automatically start, at startup.
My problem is that I cannot get it to display the sign client application foreground and full screen. The Win 8 Metro desktop over-rides it and minimizes the application. I know the application is running fine, because if I open explorer and select the (already running) app from the task bar, everything works fine from that point.
The questions asked differently: How can I have the system automatically bypass the Metro desktop and bring the running client application to foreground?
What I have unsuccessfully tried:
- Adjusting the application properties (by right clicking on the client application icon) to run "Maximized".
I appreciate any advice; Thank you. -E
