v2.4.0 - Scheduled Tasks Architecture
What's Changed
Major Improvements
- Replaced Windows Service with Scheduled Tasks for improved reliability and faster boot-time updates
- Two scheduled tasks for different scenarios:
- BgStatusServiceBoot - Runs at system startup with high priority, restarts LogonUI to display fresh system info
- BgStatusServiceLock - Runs when you lock your screen or log off, updates the image for the next viewing
Bug Fixes
- Fixed Windows 11 version detection - Now correctly reports 'Windows 11' instead of incorrectly showing 'Windows 10'
- LogonUI restart only at boot - Screen lock no longer forces password prompt or blur
Technical Details
- Uses WMI for accurate OS caption and reads DisplayVersion from registry
- Installer now cleans up old Windows Service installation automatically
- Boot task runs with Priority 1 (highest) for earliest possible execution
Installation
Download \�gStatusServiceSetup.exe\ and run it as Administrator. The installer will:
- Remove any existing installation (service or tasks)
- Download and install the latest version
- Create the scheduled tasks
- Generate the initial login screen image
Press Win+L to see your new login screen, or reboot to test the boot-time update.
