Cameras Not Loading After Reboot

Blue Iris will load, but most if not all, cameras will show the rainbow strips. I just have to click on each and manually restart. This isn't a huge deal, but randomly started. It is somewhat annoying after Windows does its auto reboot.

Any suggestions?

I regularly have this issue, but I always set Win10 not to update for another 14 days, giving me the chance to do it manually in case of complications. I also have BI5 auto updates Off for the same reason.
Time for a support email. If it's as easy as pressing 'restart' then it should do it automatically. Imagine doing this with 64 cameras :?

Strange, I do NOT have that issue. I do have to start BI initially after a reboot (could probably figure out a way around that) but otherwise everything runs completely smoothly.

I'm running BI5 as a service. If I don't fully open the BI5 gui after a reboot I am at risk of cameras not working. Details:

1. Running as a Service.
2. Intel cpu.
3. No gpu acceleration.

(First, sorry for hijacking the thread)

Yeah, mine is definitely configured as a service. I think it has started automatically but yesterday I did MSFT updates, reboot, and it didn't. Maybe I just didn't wait long enough. I don't reboot often (definitely not automatically) so it's been infrequent enough that i haven't looked into it further. I probably should because things always tend to 'happen' for my wife when I'm away/out of town (smoke detector batteries, internet outage, etc).

Yesterday was the 5.4.0.1 update. For the first time mine failed to start the service after installation. I had an error message that the service couldn't start. I rebooted the pc to get it going again. Luckily it wasn't my main server with Homeseer/Nodered/DeConz etc. That's a pain to reboot :?
