Most likely won't be able to work on ACC again before next week, so hope this can gather some feedback meanwhile, so I can have some stuff to fix.

The ifttt applet I use for open_any for reference, which is the main reason why I made made open_any. To use a single applet only.

Hello, I've been testing v1.4.5, specifically in regards to the item "PowerShell window on startup #107". I was having this issue so I installed the update to test. During the uninstall it was unable to automatically close AssistantComputerControl.exe and I had to manually end it from Task Manager. After rebooting the the PowerShell window no longer shows after log in, so it seems the issue has been resolved. However I did check the logs and its still reporting an access denied error for the Windows Task Scheduler:

Hi i installed the alpha for the fix on the powershell window opening, but kaspersky flags it as malware
it didn't happen with the previous version

@federicosammartin could be because it's a dev. build, but could also just be that the download source is less known. Think the ACC website is starting to be trusted by the "malware" sniffers, but just guesses.

Version is out. Thanks for feedback.
