I set a new scheduled task to start "when my computer starts". I assigned an Administrator user to run the task. This is an executable that is supposed to run indefinitely in the background.

The problem is, that if the Administrator logs in and then logs off, the task stops running.

Is there a solution for this?

UPDATE: this was caused because the task running was in java. See my own solution.
