I’m noticing my PC reboot time has become excessive since installing which is what led me to realize the excessive amount of memory being consumed by Java.exe If I reboot my pc and do nothing. I’m not actively using Ignition (and as this my my development machine I seldom use Igition). Java starts up and slowly creeps up to 1.1GB of my 4GB available ram and 25% of my i5 processor for about 5min. I’d rather Ignition not come on at all automatically, just when I want to run it. ---

Try changing your windows service, as per my response to [this thread](https://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=11788). ---

I checked Sevices.msc prior to posting, but apparently overlooked “Ignition Gateway”. Setting that service to manual did resolve it.
