Trying to set up a workflow that would restart CasparCG periodically on an unmanned Windows server. There is a .bat file that restarts CasparCG and a custom client, and when the batch file is run manually it works 100% correctly.
Also when that very same batch file is triggered via TaskScheduler, it works while a Remote Desktop session is open.
If however there is no Remote Desktop open while the task runs, then CasparCG startup fails with:

So any tips on getting CasparCG to launch from the command line without Desktop “being present”?
(Why the restart you ask? Because we have had CG problems with long up-times in 24/7 operation and the restart fixes those issues.)
Any ideas are welcomed!
