    I’ve had mixed luck with the ehtray.exe end process and then running it from the ehome directory as administrator. BUT what I noticed today is that there are multiple instances of ehtray.exe running. It looks as if there is a copy for each extender which is logged on to the system. So as a test I ended process on the copy in task manager but there were three left in Resource Monitor. I logged out and back in and still found a couple of copies running. But I found that I could right click on the item in the CPU setting of resource monitor and choose end process. Then you have to wait for it to close. After they were closed I opened ehome and right clicked on ehtray.exe and chose run as administrator. After a few seconds it was added back to Task Manger and within a few more minutes I had a total of four copies running in Resource Monitor.

    I’ve found the best method is to wait for the automatic update to run the task so I won’t know now until tomorrow if I get an icon with a pop up or if it still is “silent.”

     

    Update 8/18 7AM, well the pop up is working (currently shows Client Mant. Complete) but turning off all the other “ehtray.exe” running and then starting one on the Dell as administrator and letting the machine restart the rest seems to have worked.

     

    Still looking for a way to mark this service to start properly at boot up or start of Media Center to work properly all the time.

    Anyone with more advice, please comment.
