    Hi,

    In my day to day use of Windows 10, I use an unprivileged user account. However in order to run WakeOnLan I must run as an administrator account. If I run WOL as an the unprivileged user I get the following error when starting:

    Window title: Crash
    An unexpected exception occurred
    Error Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. At (Date Time).

    at WakeOnLan.My.MyApplication.ConfigureCulture()
    at WakeOnLan.My.MyApplication.MyApplication_Startup(Object sender, StartupEventArgs e)
    at Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.WindowsFormsApplicationBase.OnStartup(StartupEventArgs eventArgs)
    at Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.WindowsFormsApplicationBase.DoApplicationModel()

    The application does not start.

    Regards
