Helper VPower BI Gateway (Personal Mode) Run As Service
I need to run a Personal Gateway because I have a requirement to run Python in a couple of reports. If I log out of the computer but leave it running, my reports fail to refresh in the PBI Service. If I log back into the device and refresh the reports from the service, everything works as expected. I'm assuming this is because the Personal Gateway is not configured to run as a service on my Windows 10 machine. This is problematic as I'm not signed into that computer very often.
Is it possible to install the Personal Gateway to run as a service? If not, does anyone have any thoughts on how to make it run as a service? Waiting for Python support in the Enterprise Gateway really isn't an option as it doesn't even appear on Microsoft's roadmap.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Nope, personal mode gateway does not contain corresponding service that installs to your device. Maybe you can submit an idea for this requirement.
