Windows 8.1 Pro RTM and WHS 2011 Launchpad
Question
-
I upgraded to Windows 8.1 RTM today (from Windows 8.0 Pro - via download on MSDN - I have an account, and these are RTM bits).
After upgrading, the Windows Home Server 2011 Launchpad does not start. Trying to start it from the icon on the Start Menu does nothing but take me to the desktop.
I have tried to reinstall the WHS Connector software (Launchpad & Dashboard), but this does not help.
I also tried to launch the Launchpad app using compatibility settings, and that also fails.
I also verified the Windows Home Server 2011 server is up to date with all updates.
The Launchpad application using the same installer works on my Windows 8.0 and Windows 7 systems without an issue. The Launchpad.exe app exhibits this behavior only after upgrading to or clean installing Windows 8.1 RTM, and is not specific to this PC. 3 PCs I upgraded have experienced this problem. And it was working prior to the upgrade as I ran a backup using the Launchpad prior to installing/upgrading.
This is preventing backups from running on these systems, and I cannot see alerts for my other systems remotely, or for these systems either.
Process Monitor shows the following data. As you can see, Launchpad.exe exits in about 2 seconds with an Exit Status code I cannot seem to locate.
