After installation, VSPE registers and starts "EterlogicVspeDeviceManagerService" Windows Service under LOCAL SERVICE account (this is low privileged account).
The component is responsible for running all devices and loading autostart.vspe file on startup.
If you do not want VSPE service to be running all the time, you can stop it and set startup type as "Manual":
- Open Services from Control Panel
- Navigate to "Eterlogic Virtual Serial Ports Emulator service"
- Stop service
- Double click service and change Startup type to Manual
When you need to start EterlogicVspeDeviceManagerService component, you have the following options:
- Start service from Services panel (or from PowerShell: Start-Service -Name "EterlogicVspeDeviceManagerService")
- .. or run EterlogicVspeDeviceManagerService.exe from elevated command prompt: &"C:\Program Files\Eterlogic Software\Virtual Serial Ports Emulator (x64)\EterlogicVspeDeviceManagerService.exe" run
