when running the self hosted version I'm getting many many internet explorer windows opening with the localhost URL, all with different ports.

it's making it impossible to use the software at all (I predominantly use chrome).

is there a setting or a config I'm missing ?

thanks

Mark.

the title of the window is "web driver". left that little nugget out of the original post.

Hi Mark,

It seems like you're logged in to the same Windows user account that is used for running Internet Explorer. IE can't be launched in headless mode as other browsers. That's why you need to specify a separate user account for IE when the EnableIESupport.bat script is launched. This user account should not be used for login or remote access.

You can find some advice on this topic here https://groups.google.com/g/screenster/c/tQ3ZytloGec

Let me know if you have any questions

Best regards,

Screenster team
