PAC Display Runtime Not Updating

[Joey1]

I’ve got a customer with PAC Display Pro running on a Windows 10 computer. Most of the time, when starting the runtime it will read the values from the PAC (R1) once but then not update after that. I have to restart runtime 2 or 3 times before it starts updating. I’ve added the runtime application to the Windows Defender exclusions list and I believe it’s in the allowed list in the firewall. The computer is not running any other antivirus software. Any thoughts as to what else could be causing this issue?

Thanks.

Have you tried the following setting:

Windows Security
App & Browser Control
Exploit Protection Settings
Program Settings
Add an exception for program name DisplayR.pro.exe
Set override to off on “Randomize memory allocation (Bottom-up ASLR)”

Or DisplayR.basic.exe if you are using Basic.

PAC Display Runtime running very slowly - displays freezing

Hello, All. I just added a new PC to a system mainly to provide a way to drive a 4K display with PAC Display. Up till now, I’ve been using an old PC with Win XP on it, and thus limited me as to what version of PAC Project I could run. This new machine is running Win 10 Pro. It’s a much faster computer than the old XP machine, of course. It’s an Intel Core i5-8500 @ 3.00Ghz 8 GB of RAM With a 1000GB NVMe PCIe 2280 M.2 SSD as the main “hard drive”. It seems pretty speedy to me! To start o…

If you need to dig into some other solutions, that thread is gold.

Try running Pac Display under older version of windows by using compatibility troubleshooter for the executable. I had the same problem in the past.

Sorry I didn’t update this sooner. Philip’s solution seems to work. I’ll update if it stops working. Thanks for your help.
