Windows Installations Only: When running the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor installation on Windows, an initial splash screen appears and then disappears. There is an approximately 5-minute waiting period until the main installer loads. This is due to the installer unpack. You can see two Uptime processes running in task manager. This is normal behavior. |
