Windows client often disabled
I often find that the Windows blue shield client is disabled. I've discovered that switching to another user and back again disables it. I'm also concerned that it starts up disabled. I'd like the Windows client to be enabled 100% of the time as there's no obvious way to tell that it has disabled itself. It would be nice if the shield changed from blue to red if it has somehow become disabled.

So when you go into the Task Manager - is it still showing there but just now in the Taskbar?
In one of the recent .NET updates I think it breaks the Taskbar app, that's my best guess.
I've tried a number of things:
- Go into Settings --> Personalization --> Taskbar and enabled NextDNS. Nothing.
- Reinstalled NextDNS will get it back for ONE boot and then a JIT / .NET error will appear at startup, disappear, and so with the NextDNS icon.
- Is is _STILL_ running the service though, just the Taskbar element is gone.
I just think we need a client update .. -
Switching users seems to disable it. It's there in Taskbar icons and in startup apps. Next time it happens I'll check Services to see if it's still running.
