This will make the main manual 60%-70% smaller. if you have something specific please let me know! 👍🏼 I suggest an express setup section, dedicated only to WinServer 2019 GUI installation and optimization (including the Windows GUI replacement of course). This should give you a much wider customer base. Since it is reported the SQ of optimized GUI is gaining on core, it would really help those of us that do not have the time investment to learn all the capabilities required for core use. Does 3.0 have a shutdown shortcut ? Does 3.0 have shortcut to Ethernet adapter options? gonefishing 1 Link to comment

(I am not sure, but for my recent build, setting up stuff and installing drivers in 2019 ServerGUI seems about the same complexity as Win10, so most users already understand that.... no F8, no driver signing problems, etc, etc..) The amazing thing #1 is that after the standard AO optimization routine and even setting the shell to AudiophileShell, the computer worked perfectly as prior. I just pulled the monitor and USB for keyboard/mouse and everything back to normal from the control PC (win10 AO2.2).. which brings us to Amazing thing #2... This sounds much better than Server Core 2012 with AO !!!! First I noticed the snares were more correct, but then I was shocked when the drummer in the recording did one of those double handed multiple slams on the toms set.. I have not heard that type of sound pressure change from my system previously - but recalled the experience from when I worked with a similar style drummer many years ago... Bass lines are much more defined yet with realistic texture, cymbal taps have more correct definition, and even piano parts - which I think is a very weak point of my speakers - are exhibiting a more realistic texture and impact.... By the third song, the system, room, walls were gone... just remaining an envelope of musical artistry that some group created many years ago... that does not happen very often here. So, even with Server 2019 GUI and the AudiophileShell loaded, my stuff sounds the best as I have ever heard - and by a wide margin (by audiophile standards anyways). I think that Server 2019 GUI, and especially with learned familiarity of the AudiophileShell, could prove a relatively painless "gateway" into to the hardcore world of command-line server.. but maybe a few additional AudiophileShell entries and/or some very detailed instructions in the manual could be helpful to help others take their first "hit"... 🙂 AudioPhil and FelipeRolim 2 Link to comment

What happens when you launch task manager, manuall launch a cmd window and the try to start sconfig? best, AudioPhil iirc... I also did exactly that and still no sconfig.. I tried to find it in the default directory, but not listed there.. I since changed back to GUI - will give core a try again after the manual is finished 😀 Link to comment

I am using 10 Pro on control PC with AO 2.2 and the attached the Audio PC uses WinServer 2019 GUI and AO latest 3.0 beta. Sounds very good, but I did not compare to Server also on control PC. AO can strip Win Pro of excess stuff and also replace the GUI... I found these AO functions changes the sound from stock WIN Pro.. One thing for sure, is the AO sound signature and digital filter settings on the control PC are obvious.. I was shocked by this as I found they are just as obvious on control PC in 2 PC setup as for when I used a single PC setup😲. Link to comment
