I have the exact same issue. Fresh format and install of Windows 8.1 with all updates, then Comodo Personal Firewall. When Windows starts the tray icon and widget do not appear and I have no idea whether Comodo is even protecting anything! I have to manually open the app then close main window for tray icon and widget to appear. Can’t locate any solutions, may have to switch firewall software.
Me too same problem windows 8.1 64-bit,
Comodo Internet Security 7.0.317799.4142
i solved because i had backup of my scheduled tasks .
to solve this with notepad ++ or any xml editor create an empty xml file
and copy the text in red and paste inside the new xml document and save it:
now open from Administrative Tools ‘Task Scheduler’ and from the menu action choose import task and select the new xml document, it will ask you to give it a name , name it as you want ex: comodo trayicon and reatat your pc and it will work.
this for 64-bit version, for the 32-bit you have to change the patch inside the xml document to program files(x86).
Hi,
I have the same problem. Tried to install an older version and update later, but no success.
Is it a Comodo or a Microsoft bug?
As I can remember I used to have a version worked well early in 2014.
You can use this fix by qmarius. It will add the start entry to Task Scheduler where it is intended to be. When CIS is on a non standard path you need to edit the xml file to match the path.
