Hello,

I’d like to run automatically my ScreenMaker application when the controller is turned on or rebooted.  
I saw in ScreenMaker → Properties that I can select the startup as “automatic” but when I start the Virtual FlexPendant, it shows the standard ABB Menu and not my application.  
Am I missing something? I’ve already rebooted the virtual controller after deploying my ScreenMaker project.  
Thank you
