When launching a vision client, I’m automatically getting a log file to display. If i manipulate the “logging level” in the client settings it seems to have no effect. Is there a way to disable this?

Can you provide a screenshot of what you’re talking about?

Are you launching this from the Vision client launcher or a shortcut? What version is this? AFAIK we do not have any functionality in the launchers to open this log file…

Ahh, therein may lie the issue. I’ve added the shortcut to the startup list after a windows login so that it automatically starts and with coupled with the “Auto login” feature it’s working nicely. Except for the log file above

Again, another good call. Somehow the log file (which is run in notepad) was included in the startup folder, obviously causing it to run each startup.

Thanks for your assistance!
