Description Gary 2020-05-02 13:59:35 UTC 
SUMMARY
Discover starts during PC startup and may crash if the network isn't ready.
The user has no control of when Discover runs.
Please add a menu item to Discover that allows the user to specify when
Discover will run. I suggest a time of day choice, that way the user can
start a VPN and run checks before Discover attempts access to the network.
