About a week ago I noticed Blue Iris service would not be running. I could restart it and all is well. A day or so later, it would be off again. Also it would not automatically start after a reboot.

1. In system services, it was not logging in as "Local System". I changed this and now it will startup automatically upon restart.

2. It shuts down after 1-2 days of running. I'm noticing higher than normal CPU. Usually 10-15% idle and 20-30% when using UI3 on a few devices. Now 25% idle and 40-50% using UI3.

Settings have not changed. This PC sits and runs Blue Iris only. Autoupdate was on. I rolled back to 5.2.4.1 with no change.

Suggestions how to diagnose?

Turn auto update OFF. Don't be in a rush to update.
you don't say what version you are having this issue with.
I believe it was 5.2.4.4? It was more than .1 and less than .6

I rolled back to 5.2.4.1 after reading some threads. Still ran high processor (30%+ idle) and locked up before 48 hours. I updated to 5.2.4.6 yesterday morning. System is ~12% idle and <20% viewing over 24 hours later. If its still good through Sunday I'll call it fixed. Then its time to order a couple more cameras!
