It is started automatically when the computer is turned on. You can start, stop, or restart the service from the windows services manager. If the Synthesis VR Proxy is stopped, the communication won’t work and you won’t be able to manage your VR devices (manage sessions ; use Voice Chat ; etc). Synthesis VR will not function. The “synthesisvr” Windows Account Upon installing the Proxy, a new synthesisvr Windows Administrator account is created and a random 16 characters password is assigned. The account and the password are used to allow the Proxy service to run on the PC even if all the other Windows users are currently not logged in and interacting with the Desktop.
