AHK on Windows Server 2022 VPS

[edpenguin]

I used to have access to a VPS running Windows 10. The AHK scripts I put together for that VPS worked fine both when I was logged in or not logged in to the VPS via remote desktop.

I have had to move hosts and now run windows server 2022. I login to the machine using Windows Remote Desktop Connection. On this new VPS, if I am logged in via RDC, the scripts, which are on a schedule, work fine. But if I am not logged in they stop after the first line which is in all cases the loading of a web page. Example:

Code: Select all

Run, https://streamyard.com/v9q3hpx4bh
Sleep, 15000
WinWait, StreamYard - Brave, 
IfWinNotActive, StreamYard - Brave, , WinActivate, StreamYard - Brave, 
WinWaitActive, StreamYard - Brave, 
MouseClick, left,  976,  744
Sleep, 5000

The web page loads but the next action (MouseClick, left, 976, 744) is not executed. Nearly all the scripts I have start with loading a specific web page and this works ... but mouse clicks do not.

The scripts are saved as .ahk files.

Any pointers much appreciated.

Just bumping this. Any suggestions as to why mouse clicks are not being executed ?

Yes. The WinWait is waiting for your window. You can add a timeout, to understand whether the command fails. You can then explore why the window is not being found.
