Hello,

How do I automatically launch an Ignition client on the Ignition server after the Ignition server reboots? Gateway server is Windows.

The native client launcher can take care of it for you.

After launching a project (and having it put an icon on the desktop), you can put a copy of it into the Startup Folder.

Alternatively, there is also a [batch file](https://inductiveautomation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=55378#p55378) that will startup through Java Web Start.
