HI,
I've searched this forum and couldnt find the answer, so either very rare, or something that is so simple to solve that doesnt get asked.. but I'm just at a loss..

The traffic light and the profile selection is greyed out in the Windows desktop app, running windows10 x64

I know I can change these outside of the app from the android, Echo and Webinterface.. but for some reason this is disabled in the app

BI is running as a service, and GUI starts runs as Administrator.. what am I missing

did you delete or make changes to the user named admin in blue iris options>users?

if you leave that admin account in its default state it cannot be accessed via the web...alternatively simply create a long password..and also select lan only..
