Once the computer logs in, the settings to have iProFiler Server start automatically are found in the program settings. You do not add it to the Windows Startup folder. ## Configuration 1. From the main iProFiler Server application, click the **Server Options** button ![](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/3b24946f-29e0-4a49-bd23-1bc043ee2e1c-image.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-07T01%3A48%3A10Z&se=2026-11-07T02%3A48%3A10Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=MdUxSuiWjsDqVotfQSHC2Ae4%2FGLPm0jkJhT9P%2F7ObKA%3D) 2. In the **Server Options** dialog, check the **Run server when Windows starts** box ![](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/cfadcbce-3e50-42d1-9d6d-c6192b36d442-image.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-07T01%3A48%3A10Z&se=2026-11-07T02%3A48%3A10Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=MdUxSuiWjsDqVotfQSHC2Ae4%2FGLPm0jkJhT9P%2F7ObKA%3D) > [!WARNING] > Optionally you can set a start-up delay if required. Generally, none is required. 3. Click OK ## Additional Considerations Just a reminder that in addition to starting the program automatically, each archive has its own setting that controls when it starts. If you want the archives to start at the same time as the program you must separately check this option on the **Archive Options** page. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/57e3cd80-d493-453c-9672-ad1b043dadc3/Images/Documentation/a89adf85-ced3-4cb3-8ef5-62c9d2552242-image.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-07T01%3A48%3A10Z&se=2026-11-07T02%3A48%3A10Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=MdUxSuiWjsDqVotfQSHC2Ae4%2FGLPm0jkJhT9P%2F7ObKA%3D) ## Let us know how we can help If you have further questions on this topic or have ideas about improving this document please [contact us](https://www.telosalliance.com/support-request).
