Once you've got a good idea the cause you'll at least have a direction to start troubleshooting. Next time your watching something and it kicks out I would hop into event viewer and check the application and system logs, hopefully that will either ID what application is doing something to cause it, or some error/hiccup in the background. I'm guessing anything in scheduled tasks you would probably know about but wouldn't hurt to check there and make sure something isn't going.

#INSTALL WINDOWS ON TOP OF OPENELEC KODI HOW TO#
So, does anyone have any options or solutions as to how to keep Kodi always running in the foreground. Its happening to the point though where its becoming hard to ignore. It could happen maybe once in an hour, and at other times, it could happen 3 or 4 times within an hour. All I do is open the laptop and click on the Kodi icon in the task bar and it appears again. Kodi doesn't crash- it still plays because you can hear the audio. the thing that is happening is that Kodi would be playing full-screen, no issue, and then it would just go to the desktop. I've set the power settings so that the computer never goes to sleep, whether plugged in or on battery, or when the lid is closed I've installed Teamviewer on the computer on the off-chance that I would need to connect to it remotely. I've updated Windows 7 to a certain point, and turned off all Windows 7 update notifications and automatic downloads. There are no themes, I've set it up so as soon as you boot the laptop, it would automatically login and Kodi will appear. I setup this laptop solely to watch tv from. I have setup Kodi Helix on laptop (Sony Vaio) running Windows 7 Starter 32-bit.
