News Fetch in Win 10 While Logged Out

[mreader123]

I have calibre setup to download several newsfeeds and email them to the PW that I'm using daily. This works fine while I'm logged in and running calibre.

However, I'd like this to work even when I'm not logged on (win 7 computer is on all the time). I created a task scheduler event, running as SYSTEM, on highest privileges, program "C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibre.exe" with --start-in-tray as argument. I see that calibre.exe is running as a system process, but it doesn't complete fetching the newsfeeds or emailing them out. I also see calibre-file-dialogue is running as system as well, and wondering if this is reason why the fetch isn't working. Thanks for all the help!

If you are running it as a different user than nornal, it will use a different configuration directory and there require to be reconfigured. Or you can use the CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY environment variable as desciber: https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/cus...ment-variables

Thanks Kovid,

I ended up just going back to my user instead of SYSTEM and checked on "run whether use is logged on or not and that seems to be working. Will try the CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY if I need to switch users again. Thanks for all your help!
