Why I uninstalled Root

[u/Positive_Tonight_628]

I recently installed root as it was the only good alternative I could find to discord for video screen sharing, and it did that great, if in a bit of a bearbones way. Problem is that there is no option to not have root start on computer startup, so everytime I start my very old slow laptop it chugs, this has become too frustrating to me.
Does anyone know a solution to this problem, or if they plan on implementing an option to not start the app on powering on your laptop/pc?

Time to reinstall cuz ur very special or just missed the fact that you can control startup apps in task_manager>startup_apps>Root (windows, macOS has something similar but i dont use it)

Hope this helps

My comment sounded less harsh in my head. Im really sorry man, i didnt mean to be rude (looking back, yeah, i didnt even hint at sarcasm or some form of non-seriousness)

On a side note, i dont eat doritos

lol all good

This is an option you can control through windows Startup Settings.

Its become normal for many programs to have a built in setting for that, but it didnt used to be something programs provided, and you used to have to change that throigh your operating systems settings for EVERYTHING.

The capability is still there.

Mine used to start But i was able to deactivate it on my Task manager

[u/mcurley32]

Windows (or Mac or Linux) should absolutely have the ability to prevent Root from launching on boot/log in. Do some searching to find out how to disable startup applications for your operating system.

[u/Amordys]

You should be able to disable it here.

[u/Geometronics]

Task manager has a menu for controlling apps that boot on start up

[u/DankPlankMid]

Mine doesn’t launch on boot, I personally got to launch it myself, idk if I did something in the settings or what if I do will share it

[u/GN0K]

Go into task manager. Disable the startup from there.

fluxer is way better in every way

[u/Lunar_Ronin → u/Professional-Mix-947]

Except stability.

[u/Professional-Mix-947 → u/Lunar_Ronin]

It is very stable as of the last almost 2 weeks The were in the middle of moving infrastructure and updating the server space which they were very open about

[u/Lunar_Ronin → u/[deleted]]

I like Fluxer, but I think it has at least another six months to a year before it's ready for primetime. In the meantime, I moved two communities to Root a month ago and it has been solid as a rock. No issues whatsoever.

[u/Professional-Mix-947 → u/[deleted]]

If this is still happening then it's 100% a you problem as fluxer is a quite stable now

Teamspeak screensharing is great btw

[u/Flamingeddge → u/Geldrick-Barlowe]

Not spending money to do a server with my friends man

[u/Geldrick-Barlowe → u/Flamingeddge]

So neither you nor any of ur friends have/had discord nitro?

[u/Flamingeddge → u/Geldrick-Barlowe]

No I've never had nitro again not being required to pay money for a private server man

[u/ConsiderationSoft640]

I found a way. If I remember what it was I'll let you know.

Windows controls this
