Service Doesn't Start on Windows 10

[Aaron Roberts]

I'm using Windows 10 on a Surface Pro 4 I can't seem to get the service to start (consequently my clients are complaining they can't connect). This is what I see when If first start the application in my logs: [2015-12-21T14:02:02] DEBUG: ipc client disconnected [2015-12-21T14:02:02] DEBUG: ipc client proxy removed, connected=2 [2015-12-21T14:02:05] DEBUG: accepted ipc client connection [2015-12-21T14:02:05] DEBUG: start ipc handle data [2015-12-21T14:02:05] DEBUG: ipc read: IHEL [2015-12-21T14:02:05] DEBUG2: readf(%1i) [2015-12-21T14:02:05] DEBUG2: readf: read 1 byte integer: 1 (0x1) [2015-12-21T14:02:05] DEBUG: finished ipc handle data [2015-12-21T14:02:05] DEBUG: ipc hello, type=gui [2015-12-21T14:02:05] INFO: watchdog status: error The status says Ready. If I then click on Start I see: [2015-12-21T14:07:03] DEBUG: starting process [2015-12-21T14:07:03] DEBUG: screen resolution: 3840 3444 primary screen center: 1368 912 [2015-12-21T14:07:03] INFO: starting server [2015-12-21T14:07:03] INFO: command: "C:/Program Files/Synergy/synergys.exe" -f --no-tray --debug DEBUG2 --name aaroberts-TABLETPC --ipc --stop-on-desk-switch --enable-drag-drop --profile-dir "C:\Users\aaron\AppData\Local" -c "C:/Users/aaron/AppData/Local/Temp/qt_temp.Hp4616" --address :24800 --res-w 3840 --res-h 3444 --prm-wc 1368 --prm-hc 912 [2015-12-21T14:07:03] INFO: config file: C:/Users/aaron/AppData/Local/Temp/qt_temp.gq4616 [2015-12-21T14:07:03] INFO: log level: DEBUG2 [2015-12-21T14:07:03] DEBUG: start ipc handle data [2015-12-21T14:07:03] DEBUG: ipc read: ICMD [2015-12-21T14:07:03] DEBUG2: readf(%s%1i) [2015-12-21T14:07:03] DEBUG2: readf: read 309 byte string: "C:/Program Files/Synergy/synergys.exe" -f --no-tray --debug DEBUG2 --name aaroberts-TABLETPC --ipc --stop-on-desk-switch --enable-drag-drop --profile-dir "C:\Users\aaron\AppData\Local" -c "C:/Users/aaron/AppData/Local/Temp/qt_temp.Hp4616" --address :24800 --res-w 3840 --res-h 3444 --prm-wc 1368 --prm-hc 912 [2015-12-21T14:07:03] DEBUG2: readf: read 1 byte integer: 0 (0x0) [2015-12-21T14:07:03] DEBUG: finished ipc handle data [2015-12-21T14:07:03] DEBUG: new command, elevate=0 command="C:/Program Files/Synergy/synergys.exe" -f --no-tray --debug DEBUG2 --name aaroberts-TABLETPC --ipc --stop-on-desk-switch --enable-drag-drop --profile-dir "C:\Users\aaron\AppData\Local" -c "C:/Users/aaron/AppData/Local/Temp/qt_temp.Hp4616" --address :24800 --res-w 3840 --res-h 3444 --prm-wc 1368 --prm-hc 912 [2015-12-21T14:07:03] INFO: service command updated and the status goes to "Synergy is starting." but nothing happens and my clients still can't connect. I've tried unblocking this exe in Windows Defender. Not sure what else to try.
