I'm trying to publish my HMI on CX2030, so I followed the Beckhoff site's instructions for publishing the HMI. When I turn on the PC, the BECKHOFF Device manager starts with the login page simultaneously but in different tabs. how can I fix this issue? (disable show the Beckhoff device manager on start up). Any help would be appreciated.

    Good question. No clue. I couldn't find any entry if you enter `shell:startup` or `shell:common startup` in the Run program. There was also no task scheduled, nor an entry in Task Manager > Startup. – Roald Jun 21 '22 at 09:24

    Very good question indeed. I remember a setting like "do not start automatically" but I can't find it anywhere. Who designs systems like these...? Annoying. EDIT: Does the last comment help from here: https://www.sps-forum.de/threads/beckhoff-device-manager-deaktivieren.99139/ – Quirzo Jun 23 '22 at 05:19

I managed it thanks to the link from Quirzo:

  1. Press start, type Run and enter regedit.

  2. (Optional) Save your current registry via File > Export.

  3. Go to Edit > Find and type localhost/config. For me the device manager was at the following location:

    registry key location of the device manager

  4. Right clikc StartSecurityWizard and select Delete.

  5. Restart the PLC and the Device Manager should no longer start automatically.

Another solution is to go to task manager>startup. There you will find an entry for Windows command processor. If you disable it, it won't open anymore.
