Description of Issue
Can’t find the Roon icon in the system tray, even though Roon is running just fine. I assumed that it was just turned off in the Taskbar setting, but it does not appear in the list at all. Should I uninstall and reinstall, or is there something less drastic that can be done?
The goal is to get the Icon so that I can enable Run at Startup.
If there is another way to have Roon run as a service instead of running as a logged in user, that would be even better.
I guess I missed the subtle (or maybe not subtle) difference when I did the download and install. I installed Roon (the desktop app) and not Roon Server. I made a bad assumption that the Roon download was a combination of the Server and the UI, and not a distinct build with subtly different behavior.
Now the question is, is there a simple path to get from Roon to Roon Server? I want the desktop behavior of running the UI when I sitting at the computer, but also the Roon Server behavior of running automatically after a reboot (assuming that is the case).
You can simply install Roon Server on the same PC, run it and ensure that the “Launch at startup” is checked.
Then, open your Roon application, go to Settings > General, and click the “Disconnect” button showing in the Core panel.
This will take you to a screen showing the available Cores running in your network; one will be the Core present in the full Roon app, and the other will be the Core of the Roon Server. Choose the latter.
I assume that it will be OK for you to start from scratch with this new Core, but if you have already been using the Core in the full Roon for some time and have made edits that you want to preserve, then first make a Backup of the old Core and restore it onto the new Core.
