We have been running Xymon PS client on 2019 for over a year. Is this a new
install for you on 2019? We run it in a separate folder c:\Utils, not
Program Files to allow User permissions. Check permissions on that folder
that XymonPS can write logs and download the clientconfig from Xymon if you
have it set to remote.

We've run into an issue with the windowspsclient and nssm on Windows 2019

performance issues. Have their been any other reported issues with
xymonpsclient on Windows 2019? Here is an example of the issues we're
seeing in our application logs.
