Thank you, Jim.  I'll put it through its paces and let you know if I find anything noteworthy.

I understand and I don't mind helping improve great products like yours.

When I started the day yesterday, I opened LV2020 to work on one project.  Upon completion, I closed LV2020.  A few hours later, I had to work on another project that used LV2019.  That's when VIPM opened and I closed immediately closed it.  Finished my work in LV2019 and closed it.  Later I had to open it again and VIPM opened along with it again.

This morning during our initial messages.  I opened LV2019 to make sure I was correct in my replies.  I then close it and opened LV2020.  That's when I noticed no VIPM.  Closed LV2020, opened LV2019, and ... TA-DA ... VIPM.

Hope this helps.

Both 32-bit

It's odd that VIPM opened only with LV2019 and not with LV2020.

I just edited the settings.ini with "Start VIPM when LabVIEW starts?="FALSE"".  Thanks.

I did update to 2020.3.  VIPM opens when I run LabVIEW 2019 but not when I open LabVIEW 2020.

Also, I couldn't find any version info in the options menu of VIPM to make sure it did update to 2020.3 after restarting.  However, when I run VIPM by itself, it shows 2020.3 in the opening screen.

This is no VIPM system tray on my Windows 10 computer.

With the latest VIPM update, VIPM opens whenever I start LabVIEW 2019.  Is this really necessary? How do I stop this annoyance?
