I had a issue on Windows 11 where the NI-MAX configuration got corrupted. An NI Technical Support Engineer advised me to set the NI Device Loader service to 'Delayed Start' and change the 'Recovery' tab to 'Restart the service'. That solved this issue.
But the problem is that using NI Packet Manager to repair or install things, this NI Device Loader service is sometimes reset to ‘Automatic’ and then also the ‘Recovery’ tab is back to the default values. So we must check those settings every time after using the NI Packet Manager.
Idea: If a service is already there, NI Packet Manager should not change the properties of that service.
