How can I make Windows automatically launch the Discovery Service?
Thanks for sharing the link!
Am I missing something? The link only explains how I can launch the Bridge using command line, not how I can make Windows automatically launch Discovery Service?

Sorry, was think you were looking for NDI Bridge autostart.
I like to use Windows Task Schedular to run applications when I log into the computer. I use this to run NDI Screen Capture for NDI-KVM access to a system when they startup, but you could easily make it run Discovery Server.

Here is the solution:
Make a shortcut in the Startup folder. To do this, enter "shell:startup" in the command-r window to open the Startup folder.
Then hold the Alt key and drag the NDI Discovery Service from c:\Program Files\NDI\NDI 6 Tools\Discovery to the Startup folder.

I'd recommend you run the Discovery Server as a windows service. That way it will run before a user is logged in on the PC, so it becomes a true 'always-on' solution.
You need a third-party "Service wrapper"to do this. We've usually recommended NSSM (the Non-Sucking Service Manager) for this, and put together a quick 'how-to'.

That is exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
