Media Center Closes Overnight

#1

Recently started having an issue where media center closes itself for no apparent reason. It still records programs when it's not "running" but I prefer the interface to be up when I turn the TV on. I checked event viewer but nothing jumped out at me, a few errors about the extender losing connection. Is there anyway to see when media center is closing and why?

The optimization process closes and reopens WMC. You can check the optimization options by going to Tasks > Settings > General > Optimization.

I actually contacted the developer of MC Reset Toolbox thinking it could be related to my recent install of that program. He said:
Fix MCE Menus runs daily to ensure StartResources.dll is not replaced. When it runs it will close Media Center, it does not affect any recordings...
I would prefer that it re-open it but if I can figure out what time it's doing this then that would be enough for me. I could always schedule a job to launch Media Center a few minutes later.
