On both Windows 10 and 11, when I first start the software and start the beacon, it defaults to 15 minutes, although it is set in the .ini file to 60 minutes.
To get the beacon to show 60 minutes I have to go to settings select the beacon tab (which is showing 60 minutes) then save and then the beacon timer is now showing 60 minutes and works fine till the next restart.
