Re: [wsjt-devel] How much operating time before rebooting your computer

[Gene Marsh]

I have seen the “desensitized” as well, BUT, only for my older Win7 + 2GHz 
1.5GB Pentium Mobile laptop (ca 2005). It is only when many signals are present 
AND the program was running for +4hr.  Sometimes the decode takes 4-5 seconds. 

I only run WSJT-X, Dimension4, Chrome (3 tabs), no antivirus. When the program 
restarts, it is fast again. I’m thinking it is a Win7 memory or processor 
allocation issue. 

No problem for the Win10 i7 8GB laptop.

Ray,
I have seen the same thing as N0AN mentioned.  Letting Win10 update solves the 
problem (if you can call it a problem).  I call it housekeeping.

I discovered this when I noticed My 2nd wsjt-x machine was only decoding about 
one half the stations that my other machine was. When I told the 2nd ma Hine to 
restart, it immediately notified me that it was updating during the reboot and 
not to turn the machine off.
I have seen this scenario present itself 3 times now, over a three month 
period. 
In each case the 2nd computer began decoding exactly as the first.
Typically I have wsjt-x running on both computers 24/7

Re: [wsjt-devel] How much operating time before rebooting your computer

[Hasan al-Basri]

I have observed this issue when win10 is waiting to update, but I haven't
been notified that an update is pending.

I discovered this when I noticed My 2nd wsjt-x machine was only decoding
about one half the stations that my other machine was. When I told the 2nd
ma Hine to restart, it immediately notified me that it was updating during
the reboot and not to turn the machine off.

I have seen this scenario present itself 3 times now, over a three month
period.

In each case the 2nd computer began decoding exactly as the first.

Typically I have wsjt-x running on both computers 24/7

Mine is running all the time unless I do the occasional reboot.
Never been an issue here.

I left WSJT running on my computer for several hours, (not on purpose) but 
found out the program lost sensitivy during that time.
My question is after a couple hours should you shut down the program and reboot 
your Computer?

Re: [wsjt-devel] How much operating time before rebooting your computer

[George J Molnar]

If by losing sensitivity you mean fewer signals are decided, are you sure it’s 
not just band conditions?

If you’re seeing signals on the waterfall that don’t decode after your computer 
has been on a long time, perhaps you need to re-sync your time more frequently?

Hi Ray,

a common issue is power saving schemes that shut down USB devices when 
the system has been idle for extended periods, you must disable these 
options if you rig audio or CAT control is over a USB connection.
